Help!! JP Morgan MMBSI vs William Blair ER vs Aberdeen Standard Investments
I received an offer from the three firms- middle market commercial banking in JP Morgan, sell-side equity research in William Blair, and a rotational investments program in Aberdeen Standard Investments. My long term goal as of now is to work as a research analyst in asset management, hedge fund, or as an investment bank, but I'm open to other options as well. I've heard people advocating buy-side as opposed to sell-side, but I'm quite torn as William Blair has a good brand name in the US. On the other hand, Aberdeen Standard Investments is a big asset manager in UK but not really well-known in US (where I'll be working) and has a decreasing trajectory after their merger. Appreciate all the help!

Thanks! Can I ask why?
just from my vantage point, has the strongest brand out of the three and I know Blair research is pretty high quality, which speaks to the caliber of those that work there. It's a relatively uneducated opinion, all things considered, to be fair.
I have to disagree with most of the advice here. You said your goal is to be a research analyst for an asset manager or hedge fund. The Aberdeen role is the only one on the buyside. It sets you up far better for continuing on the buyside.
Thanks for the help! My main point of concern was about how Aberdeen does not have a strong background/recognition in US, and it has lower pay than William Blair- I thought those downsides might outweigh it being buy side
