Hi all,
I have been offered grad roles for a small mid-market US-based firm (15 people) and a BB (generalist).
I loved the people in the MM firm, and I really like Consumer/Retail as a sector, which it is strong in. Plus I generally feel like I prefer smaller offices where you can get to know everyone individually.
However, the BB has a very obvious advantage in its brand name... being a generalist across almost every sectors could also be a good thing.
Any advice? Thanks!

This is a question only you can answer. Everybody will suggest that UBS would give much better exit ops, better training, larger Analyst class and better networking experience. By generalist, I assume it would be a Product Team, i.e. M&A Team?
