Have offers from the two great banks for their investment banking divisions. Was wondering what thoughts are on which one to choose and why?

completely agree
I'm assuming these are generalist NYC offers? If you're concerned about group placement, see if you can leverage your GS offer with JPM HR and secure a group-specific offer at JPM (JPM HC, M&A, whatever group interests you).
Otherwise, the main difference is that GS coverage groups do M&A in-house, whereas JPM has a specific M&A product group.
Actually, both are for the same industry group not in NYC but plan on trying to move to the NYC team for both for the FT. Any idea how common that is for both banks?
PM'ed!
Goldman.... because Goldman is Goldman
rookie mistake - only bottom feeding cucks and back office handytards actually choose which offer to take. Real future rainmakers make the banks decide for them.
Call up the most senior person you interviewed with at both firms and invite them to meet for coffee without telling them the other person will be in attendance. When they both arrive, you require them to fight over the right to take you SA banking virginity. If the offers really are for the same groups as you previously stated, the bankers will be sure to know each other already which should make for an even more riveting fight - they will be sure to already know each other weaknesses.
I like the cut of your jib!

Pick Goldman- I went to there NYC offices for a recruitment event and they're amazing- they also said the main difference between them and JPM was that JPM is big and they don't focus on individual growth as much as Goldman- also did I mention the building is really nice?
.
which interviewers did you like more? if comp is the same, i think at this point it comes down to the people youd work with.
I'd have to assume that his offers have likely expired by now, given that it is 3 months later...
fair, I always seem to miss the dates on these things when I navigate WSO through the related content threads on the bottom. That being said, I do think the advice could still be relevant to someone in the future.
would pick GS IMO, did my IBD SA position at JPM last year and didn't really like it, feel free to PM if you want.
