Jefferies IB or ML Equities Research Summer Analyst

Any help would be appreciated, both exploding this week.

Jefferies IB or ML Equities Research, both in NYC for the summer.

I know they're two different animals, but I'm curious about exit opportunities, salary (bonus with research?), and their respective lifestyles.

Appreciate the advice.

...I would suggest you go to Jefferies. Jefferies is a top middle market firm and you should be placed into the generalist pool (as they do with all of their NY analysts). From there, you can hope to secure a full time offer and be a very competitive candidate for full time recruitment at all the banks (both mid-market and BB).

Just my thoughts...though if you prefer equity research, this is a no brainer, go to ML.
