Leveraged Finance vs. TMT

Which would you choose assuming you had offers for each from a top tier bulge firm (think: JPM or Citi)? Why? Which offers the best for long-term career prospects?

Thanks in advance.

I guess it's what you're interested in personally. Depends on the bank, too. I don't know why, but I'd rather work in Lev Fin at a smaller bank than get lost in the giant maze that is JPM SLF. To me, if the TMT group is strong at the bank, that's personally interesting to me and I wouldn't mind focusing on it as a career. If you're the kind of person that likes variety and execution, then go Lev Fin.
