Help with AN1 choice - BB LDN vs GS Regional Office

Hi everyone, I need your help. Starting the analyst class, what would you choose between GS country coverage in a regional office (think Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid) and a US BB in London (think JPM, MS, BofA) in a good industry group but not top-notch? My aspiration is to do the analyst program and then move to PE. I am aware that the opportunities in London are greater for PEs, but on the other hand, the GS brand is unparalleled. Thank you for your help!!

Your quality of life will be better on the continent. But I imagine this is really about whether you're taking a prestige discount to GS if you take London and no... Not really, unless it's BofA (which it probably is or you wouldn't have included it 😂).
