Both bbs in the bay seem very similar, I'm finding it hard to differentiate them on strength. Does anyone have any insights into specifics, verticals, culture, exits, etc?

Same shit different wrapper
Lmao surely there's some difference, really tryna evaluate both places but haven't been able to chat properly to analysts, so really going off deals and linkedin
GS marginally better
any specific reasons as to why you say that, like is it culture, deals, rep, etc?
In general, GS is considered slightly better than MS.
If you have offers from both, would think about where you'd rather live as the reputational differences are marginal and deal exp will be good / come down to luck at that point. Menlo and SF are pretty different and you can't really feasibly live in one work in the other as a junior.
What is your end goal here? If you want to be a career banker, go with where you think you will fit in with the team the best. If you want PE, both will give you equal looks from the top shops. They're basically the same in terms of reputation and prestige, and only you know yourself well enough to know which one is a better fit for you
congrats on both
Bump, currently AN1 at a lower MM/BB. Considering lateraling, what's the current state of these two groups?

GS SF TMT better imo nowadays - culture, M&A dealflow, and probably location are better vs MS Menlo
Has MS fallen off a bit recently? Feel like in the past MS and GS were almost neck and neck

Do GS. Maximize prestige early on.
Think about what impresses your grandpa’s friends.
HYPSM, GS, McKinsey, or just boat loads of verifiable cash (quant / exited startup).
.
GS is the superior brand nowadays, so would go with GS TMT SF. Deal flow is honestly the same give or take but the Goldman brand is unbeaten
