Please help! UBS IBD vs JEF IBD vs MS GCM

Hi everyone! Currently I'm choosing between UBS IBD, JEF IBD, and MS GCM, all in NYC. MS is clearly the strongest name here, but I've heard Capital Markets' exit opps are significantly weaker than traditional IB. While UBS carries a traditionally stronger name, JEF appears to be as strong if not stronger in many areas and overall a more well-rounded bank, which is definitely very appealing given both offers are generalist so it'd be easier to get placed into a decent group at JEF.
