Not a Big Bank's world

Based on current positioning and "realistic" growth potential, which of these two - BofA or HSBC - bank's Investment Banking operations (both IBD and S&T) would be more established, in the next 3 - 5 years?

Also, of these two institutions, which would pave a clearer path to an MBA at a top three B-School?

Thoughts and insight, much appreciated.

Hmmm not sure. I've heard rumors that HSBC's CIBM is doing very poorly and they're not even hiring this year. I've also read on financial careers that shareholders at HSBC wants to sell the CIBM division. Not sure about BoA.
