HK SA Decisions: Citi vs HSBC vs UBS IBD

Received offer from Citi and HSBC, in final stages for UBS, would like to know more about the standings and prospects of the above for decision making. Much appreciated.

If it helps, i thought the environment at Citi was the best out of the three,

I would echo that Citi is probably the best one out of the three. If you're looking for prestige and a good learning experience its definitely Citi. If you want to be sure that you will be getting a return/want a better work-life balance, then choose HSBC.

UBS in HK isn't all that brilliant.
