London has a better quality of life. NY is more vibrant. Can't go wrong with either
London. NYC sucks nowadays
You’re an analyst, career prospects will be the same whether you spend a year in London or not. Go do the cool experience and spend that year abroad. When you’re 70 you won’t have regrets about spending your 2nd year as an analyst in London lol
Seems like a no brainer to me if its only a year. Go for it.
