What is your reasoning? It seems like at FSE, I would be doing less of the same work and work more with senior people, but at CS, I would have exposure to more industries but be doing more repetitive work.

 

You're right, it isn't traditional IBD, but you do have the opportunity to work on some strategy (consulting work) as well as do internal M&A (buying Citi's wealth management division last year). I am curious if one might lend itself to better exits such as PE or B-school?

 

Thank you so much for the opinion. I am also concerned with the MS brand vs. the CS brand. Also, as a follow up question, I'm thinking about CS M&A as well, but have heard it is a bit of a sweat shop when I could have a similar experience with Sponsors and not die. Any thoughts here? Again, I really appreciate the help!
