GS SF vs MS LA vs BarCap NY

Please help me rank in order of deal flow / quality of work!

I have already considered the people and location in my personal decision but would prefer not to bias your opinions.

Thanks

 

I'd definitely take MS or GS. Are analysts generalists at GS SF? I know at MS LA they are, until you hit 2-3rd year Associate. Meaning you work with products (M&A) as well as each of the industry groups.

Does BarCap NYC really suck that much?

Yes, BarCap NYC is a shit show outside of energy.

Have you looked at league tables for 2010?
