I have two offers from top MM banks but in different locations. One is in Minneapolis and the other in Richmond, VA. Same salary.
Which city is better in terms of deals/experience?
Thanks

Really hard to tell without knowing the firms or groups. If it’s a top MM in Minneapolis then I assume you might be taking about Piper. Minneapolis is their HQ so it really depends on what group you’re in. For Richmond a lot of banks have their Aerospace and Defense as well as Business Services groups based there. Deal flow really just depends on your group, bank - keep in mind what industry/product group you prefer
WB in Minnesota and HW in Richmond. Both summer internships. Thanks for your reply
If its HL or Piper healthcare go with them. Otherwise take Harris Williams. City choice probably comes down to if you want a southern vibe or midwestern vibe/weather.
William Blair in Minnesota and Harris Williams in Richmond. I should mention that these are both summer positions.
Thanks for you input
I'd imagine its a small group for WB, but if they do tech then 100% take that. Otherwise both are great options and I'd look into each groups deal flow and how much you like the teams.
I work at WB and didn’t even know we had a Minneapolis office
My vote would be HW.
Blair has had 2 years of unfortunate mismanagement including significant layoffs, minimal bonuses and misdirection about what the firm is trying to do. Especially given that it’s a satellite office, I would have far more confidence in HW
