I am fortunate to have offers from both MS and CS for SA position (IBD Tech group in both). Any suggestions on which one is better would be highly appreciated.
The offer for MS is for SFO, while for CS is for NYC.
Also, any comments regarding the conversion. I have heard that CS is much better when it comes to conversion from SA to full time.
Thanks

MS, CS tech is much stronger in SF than it is in NYC.
if this was a CS SF vs. MS Menlo then it would possibly be a different story...
all TMT stronger in sf. go for MS since its summer analyst and u get the name n stronger bank
Thanks Guys...It is for Summer Associate position (just in case it matters).
How about joining CS right now, and later asking for a move to SFO during Full Time?
Not 100% on this, but CS NY is more of media and telecom, whereas SF is more of tech. You really can't go wrong here as both are great options. I think if you can't decide then let location determine your final option.
SF is a great city...
what about the ppl at both offices?
Keep in mind you'll be in Menlo Park, not SF. Menlo is infinitely more boring and suburban than SF. Analysts at MS Menlo typically don't care, but your lifestyle/location might be more of a factor for an associate position.
