Outdated take. WB hasn’t paid well for 2 years and top talent have left or are leaving soon. OP should probably go with BoA but should first make sure they understand the difference between bulge bracket and MM banking and confirm BB is the right fit for their long-term goals.
Currently at Blair, this place is horseshit. Everyone on my team is quitting after bonus. The culture is one of the worst on the street. You will never see daylight and they constantly try to talk you into accepting a shitty bonus when the entire street pay higher. I would rather be at fifth third.
Tbh, I think people's experiences are all over the map. While my team is getting crushed, culture is still fantastic.
Real test will be February 1st. Literally nothing else matters than 1) bonuses and 2) how many people quit immediately after. Hard to judge the trajectory of the firm until those two datapoints present themselves
I can second this. Also at Blair, second year now. Looks like things might change for the better this coming Feb coming off recent call regarding comp and promotion. And I always thought the people were fantastic and our firm ran a very good M&A sell-side process compared to our peers (MMs and a few EBs). It's a good place to learn the trade for sure. But again, it's still IB and it definitely sucks sometimes. Re-BofA, it's a major bank and literally on WSJ a couple months ago, although for the very bad and wrong reason. But it can't be a wrong place to start your career given it's a recognized, major platform. Go with what your guts tell you.

Bofa
Wym BofA isn’t one you hear a lot lol, it’s a BB, great place to start
Did you get the hirevue for BofA?
Depends on which group, but most likely BofA
Doing the best at networking ≠ interview ≠ offer. Don't jump the gun. Worry about Step 1 first
Damn I’m wrong ig

Wow. I always thought WB had good culture from talking with alumni and other students at my school when I was younger.
WB crashed after 2021. Will take a couple years to get back
How is FaceTime culture?
How is FaceTime culture? Do they give a shit about WFH evenings?

Depends on group but probably BofA
They both pay like shit tbh. You somehow picked the two lowest paying banks post 2021
