MS vs. Evercore M&A vs. BAML || DE Shaw (Fundamental) vs. Citadel Securities (Trading) vs. IMC
Offers from a handful of those listed, superdays with others. Obviously a HF/banking decision to be made here, but bracketing that question, I would love to hear peoples' opinions comparing HF to HF and bank to bank.
Leaning MS/Evercore over BAML, but my feeling on MS/Evercore is highly group-dependent, and MS placement doesn't happen until winter. If I decide to do banking, PE exits will be the main consideration. I don't love the vibes from DE Shaw, as they have confirmed the negative things I have heard about intern treatment and FT return offer rates; however, I am not sure that I am at the level of an options maker that can make a long career at Citadel. IMC seems to pay well, and I have enjoyed what little exposure I have had to the work/environments of prop shops. Thoughts?
Evercore M&A
target, technical background, networked hard, some luck
