Indecisive - Please Help!

Hi guys! With recruiting season coming up, I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to narrow down the banks you wanted to work at. I am super indecisive and don't want to pick bulge vs boutique or new york vs chicago. What are other categories that you think are important that I can factor into the search? How did you compile your list? Thank you!

Hey just wondering, what experience did you have and where did you end up? Im a sophomore at a semi target and have a lower gpa 3.4 (major gpa 3.7) but I have two internships in banking, boutique and MM.
