Financial Technology Partners IB vs. BB Corporate Finance

I have FT offers from both places. I was wondering which opportunity you all think is better. I plan on getting an MBA and going with Financial Technology Partners will put me in the IB bucket while going with the BB will put me in the corporate finance bucket for MBA admissions. Obviously, it will be harder to differentiate myself in the IB bucket compared to the Corporate Finance bucket. Let me know which offer would be better for MBA admissions.

The Corporate Finance program is rotational and offers rotations in Internal Strategy and Internal M&A, along with FP&A, Treasury, Investor Relations, etc.

I am also considering exit opps from both offers. I have a few weeks to decide.

Thanks!

I think it depends on what you'd like to do after the MBA... If you'd like to go into IBanking/PE then you should probably choose FT Partners... But if you'd like to do F500 corporate development or something different entirely.. then maybe the BB brand name would be more valuable...

...also something to consider is that FT Partners = zero work/life balance, which I'm sure you already know.

FT Partners, hands down. You'll learn way more, make more $, get into a better MBA program, and have a broader choice of post-MBA jobs. Think of it this way: If you ever decide to bag IB and switch to corp fin at a bank (internal M&A, FP&A, etc.) it will be pretty easy to do. But switch from corp fin to IB or the usual post-IB paths (PE, HF, etc)? Really hard, bordering on impossible.
