Investment Bank Rankings for Outsiders

Hi I'm trying to make sure that for my internship next summer I pick the most prestigious and well-known name outside of the industry otherwise no body will know how big of a loser I am for devoting my life to put my internship into my linkedin title.

Here are my thoughts:

GOLDMAN SACHS

JPM/MS

PJT RSSG (makes me sound like i'm special forces hehe) Bain

If I had offers from these which should I take thx

Prestige in life/general business world: - Goldman Sachs - Morgan Stanley - JP Morgan - Barclays/Credit Suisse - Americans won't automatically think of the credit card - BAML/Citi - lower because everyone in the US knows them for their credit cards

Everyday people don't know EBs/MFs. Maybe they'll have heard of Blackstone, but that's about all.
