i generally agree but there are industry niches in which u can make exceptions (eg restructuring - BB banks can’t really do creditor/debtor restructuring advisory the most they can provide are things like DIP financing)

 

Dunno who monkey shit this tbh, I get circle jerking is annoying as hell but come on, it’s Goldman. Once you have that offer in hand it’s hard to turn down and hoenstly shouldn’t be turned down unless you are extremely passionate about a certain X factor of another firm. Be it culture, RX interest or whatever, in which case your reasoning should be strong enough for you to not have to question if you should pick it over GS. It should be a gut reaction. This isn’t the same case. 

 

That's NYC. EBs are much much smaller and less well-known in London with considerably less prestige. Lazard and Roths and increasingly Evercore are exceptions but still none come close to GS/MS. London just isn't NYC... Hence why my original comment was outfitted with, "in London". In NYC you've got other top teams like PJT RSSG and the sort etc. CVP fat bonuses def worth considering there too.
