Evercore PFG or BAML M&A? (London)

Looking for some advice on deciding on Gradprogramme. Evercore PFG or BAML (M&A) for the London office? Does anyone know how difficult/easy it is to rotate within Evercore?

FT or SA? Generally depends on what you want to do long-term. Evercore isn't nearly as strong in London compared to NY. Don't do PFG just for the Evercore brand name, BAML is still the best (with Citi) BB after GS/MS/JPM.

 

You probably would not be able to move into M&A before the 2nd year at Evercore if at all while being most likely restricted to internal moves. BAML will hold more doors open, including Evercore M&A. However, I am not very familiar with the PFG group so I cannot comment on the amount of transferable skills to M&A in that group
