Moelis LA vs. Evercore/Citi Houston vs. Barclays/CS NY vs. RBC

Hey guys, longtime lurker here. This forum has been super helpful for me in navigating the recruitment process and I wanted to ask y'all for advice now that this is coming to a close for me.

Currently have offers from 4 and superdays with 2. I would love to hear your opinions on each bank in regard to exits, analyst experience, etc.

I'm definitely leaning Moelis/Evercore and I'm pretty indifferent to location. Thoughts everyone?
