NEED ADVICE - Is the risk worth the reward?

Have an offer for FT that expires soon, but currently getting interest from Top EBs and BBs that extend their processes past the FT offer expiration date. Curious what people's thoughts are for potential options.

Is this from your SA group or another FT process? Does this offer land you at a bank that would give you what you want long-term or what you want for post-banking recruiting purposes (group, culture, pay, etc.)? If you're choosing between GS TMT and MS TMT the difference probably isn't big enough to risk losing an offer from either. If you could provide more info (feel free to DM) it would make it easier to give advice.
