I got offers from Goldman Sachs, Evercore, Morgan Stanley, PJT and Centerview. What do I do?
—Friend: This is the fifteenth time you’ve asked me this hypothetical scenario.

Get rid of the acne on your face
Leave all that on the table, and join the navy of course.
Get laid
Tell us how you did it, no kidding
reject all and go into S&T as you will have much more exit ops/career stability
.
These are all outstanding offers. Your dependence on what you take really goes back to what culture and team you fit with best. At the end of the day, a top-bucket GS candidate will absolutely be competing with the Evercore guy who's in the generalist M&A position waiting for a real team placement. Based on the names you gave, I really do recommend going with the team you best saw a good culture fit with. All the opportunities will yield you good exits so it's up to you to make a judgement call on who, based on your interactions, will be the best fit.
Feel free to give feedback if you throw MS here as I am giving actual advice here
You should come on to WSO to flex because your self-confidence depends on a bunch of prospects and interns' hero worship.
Get a grip
Lose your virginity
Wake up
Reject them all and hold out for Tobin & Co
Congrats btw.
