If you like the people, I'd argue MS M&A places amongst the best on the street if not THE best. Smaller classes help, esp. compared to GS top groups like TMT, FIG etc.

 

I had about 15 interviews with these guys and I totally loved the people. However, I screwed up the very last interview and didn't get the offer... If I had to choose between MS and GS, I would definitely pick MS.

 

I love the culture at MS. Culture / how much you like the group should play a big part in your decision although it often doesn't.
