I am aware, but most of those who are PMs at BLk have even recommended starting on sell-side to get that experience and then eventually go to buy-side.

 

I think BLK is more sustainable in the long run personally. The banks are doing better than two years ago but BlackRock has made huge moves to become a powerhouse since the financial crisis. I agree with the above posters, both are great names and you really can't go wrong with either. Your goal though in SA programs is to nab a full time offer and I'd prefer BlackRock PMG FT as opposed to a FT S&T role. Good luck.

 

For the S&T position, do you know your desks? This should be a big part of the conversation. Both are great positions. From what I know about Blackrock's FT PMG program, its a great way to rotate around portfolio management, research, and trading. However, if you have your heart out for a specific function (research/sales/trading), use that and your feel for the manager to make your decision.
