If you’re trying to exit and work at London, then BAML is 100% the better choice.
I used to work at BAML in London - strong dealflow but I can't say I enjoyed working there. Surprised about your comments on Lazard as I was always under the impression they were quite strong (I guess as always that depends on industry group) and view them as a cut above the other US EBs in London.
Which industry group are you looking at?
This is just my perception… The offer is for the industrials team
If your end goal is London PE, take BAML. What team is that? Non-LDN experiences are usually quite discounted by HHs for PE recruiting

It's industrials vs m&a genralist at Laz. That said I must say that I am starting to specialise in RE at Laz and it's a sector that I don't like. I tried telling them multiple times that I don't want to work in this sector and that I want to be a generalist but apparently I am good with numbers/models so they don't want me to change…
If they are restricting you to a sector you don't like, that itself should be a good enough reason to move on.
BAML London is good, Industrials there is very good but works long hours & has good camaraderie. Team had quite a few good exits incl. Lone Star, AEA, HG (yes 2 people went to HG to do software from an Industrials team), Onex, HFs.
Could you provide some insight into how HF recruiting works in London if you are an analyst at a BB? Thx
Haven’t recruited for HFs specifically but broadly its through HHs - they are usually focused on and have a good client list for one specific strategy (Equity L/S, Distressed, CrossCap investing, Activism, L/S credit, merger arb) Not sure what you are interested in.
If you’re staying in banking you have to move just to save the extra yesr
