In my opinion:
From what I understand on the street for M&A, DB would be the best shop.
UBS has had a lot of problems and has lost some talent. It will likely still give you a pretty good M&A experience but there is still a degree of uncertainty. CS I would say is overall a stronger firm than DB, but it's M&A practice isn't as strong on the street.
This is of course assuming you like all the people equally. I mean you're in a good position. You can't really go wrong.
Great job if you got FT offers with all of those banks. I'd go with DB or CS.
Way to choose only shitty banks.
Which offices are these for? All NYC?
Yes.
CS M&A team has a great culture.
but exit opps?
