is the social experience better at bulges or EB?

curious about company events, sponsored ski trips, nights out, etc - better social experience at a bulge or EB? I'm assuming at bulges its not like you'll know everyone in your class, but just the ones in your group, if thats relevant.

Albeit this is not an answer to your exact question...but in my experience (personally and from friends), the internship experience last year (summer 2019) provided more events for those at EBs than those of us at BBs. Assuming that the analyst experience is similar, I would presume that EBs will have more company-sponsored events and perhaps more extravagant ones at that without the BB compliance monster.

 

I guess you’ll meet more people at BB’s with bigger class sizes but just by simple economics the EB’s and smaller MM’s have way more $ to spend per intern in terms of throwing fun events, renting out places, taking the whole class out somewhere etc.

I also just think most EB’s tend to take pride in their “work hard play hard” culture as cliche as that is
