Current deciding between 2 offers: MM IB (Jefferies/RBC/HL) with a more generalist group (think industrials M&A) vs BB IB (GS/MS/JPM) with a niche focus (natural resources, deals likely to be more on the metals and mining side as oil & gas is phasing out)
The generalist role seems appealing as it appears to have more optionality, however the top BB IB offers better brand name. Would love to get some thoughts/opinions

Is this NYC?
I think that M&A in a MM group is way stronger than a niche group. You will also have a lot more optionality for exits.
Thanks, what if you are mostly doing M&A execution but for the natural resource group?
Personally no. I think if you have an extreme interest in the sector then maybe.
If the MM offer is for Jefferies or HL, take it. Unless you’re for sure interested in the BB niche industry, the MM offer will provide more optionality for PE, VC, IB lateral, etc. You can always end up at a BB in a better industry group after a year.
