MM LevFin or EB Shareholder Defense

Have the opportunity to join an MM on then LevFin or DCM team, and also EB SASD. Am looking for which has the best exit opps and pay. MM has 110k base with below street bonus, and EB has 120k base with unknown bonus due to no information on the SASD group.

Any help would be really great, both roles are for SA 2026 in NY

is this a pure mm or a balance sheet bank for levfin?


if this is levfin at something like wells or jeff then its a pretty clear pick imo for those. otherwise if you're doing dcm at a bank without much financing capacity its pretty bummy and would rather get paid more doing shareholder 

same for ft recruiting, EB name will get you further in most cases unless you're in a good levfin group. did my sa in a eb pca group and didnt have trouble getting bb/eb/non secondaries buyside interviews ft. also have possibility of internally transferring if eb is open to that, either ft or after an analyst stint

 

Mainly a balance sheet bank (BNP, HSBC, DB). What are bonuses like for shareholder advisory? I'm looking to re-recruit for full time regardless to land an EB/BB industry group, and then onto buy-side. Not sure what true pay at EB SASD actually looks like though, so that would be really helpful in making a decision. Also worried the lack of modeling might make me non-competitive for buy-side investing roles.
