DREAM BOUTIQUE VS AMERICAN BB

Hello MONKEYSSSSSS! 

I have 2 offers in London: 

  • Top Boutique BUT strongly sector focused in shitty vertical (FIG / Nat Res)
  • BofA / Citi 

Both apply for Full time offers

Boutique: Lean team, top culture, good hours (70h), Niche skillset, top dealflow and absolute top pay
BofA/Citi: faster learning (?), generalist, credibility, exits, sweatshop (80h), high pay due to strong group

WHAT SHOULD I PICK?
