Goldman LevFin vs BofA Investment Banking General Offer

Hello everyone, I was wondering what people's thoughts were on whether I should pursue Goldman LevFin or BofA and then choose a group within IB. I am wondering about my career and which job would put me on a better path. I know that LevFin vs Coverage/M&A banking have different exits, but am more curious about general success after 2 years. I am debating the prestige of Goldman vs the technical experience in a coverage/M&A group. I think both jobs would be fascinating. Love to hear your thoughts.

say you have a bofa coverage offer and ask gs to match it with one of their coverage groups. if they say yes take it if they say no take bofa and grind group placement.
