Definitely don't see myself in Chicago and I don't think I fit well with the people there (but still got an offer lol), also not a big fan of industrials. It seems like DB/BAML Chicago is also not doing any executions too. UBS NYC then, anyone? And honestly, I am pretty sure I will be placed in the top groups at UBS (have couple MD contacts there)

Would go to UBS and try to be placed in Financial Sponsors, Lev Fin, or M&A. Strong groups with good deal flow and exits, and you will still get interviews everywhere for FT.
