BAML FIG is a very strong group in the FIG space. Not sure about others.
If you don't know what you want to do, although a strong group, BAML FIG might not be the path for you as it's fairly niche. With that said, I know people who have gone BB FIG to an Energy PE fund, so anything can happen.
GS, great brand name (obviously), probably not as great in terms of variety of transaction types or scenarios. Disclaimer - may be different in this group, but most friends I have in structured finance say once you've seen a few transactions, you won't see many that differ greatly from those. With a focus on learning/development, this might not be the best option for you.
Generalist positions: I have always liked Guggenheim, but when I interviewed at Barclays they were definitely some sharp individuals. Tough to go wrong with either of these.
Ultimately, I would go into all four interviews with an open mind. If you instantly connect well with a team, that may end up being the best environment for you regardless of group function and focus. Best of luck in your interviews and/or decisions.
Based on you not being sure what you want, BB IBD (coverage or M&A in a non-niche group) will set you up the best for future opportunities. That said, I'd recommend Barclays IBD if you get / have the offer.
Barclays might be a good option as they do all M&A in-house within the coverage groups I believe. Other firms generally have a dedicated M&A group.
How would Moelis NYC rank if thrown into the mix?
Interested in these options as well.
