Hi, I'm lucky enough to receive several offers for SA 2024 and would love insight into which one I should take. I have received offers from KeyBanc, Silicon Valley Bank, JPM commercial banking, DC Advisory, and KPMG Corporate Finance. Thank you in advance

I would either take JPM Commercial Banking or DC Advisory. JPM is better brand name but not IB (not sure if you can transfer internally with ease). DC Advisory is an alright shop and they get some deals, not terrible for exits but nowhere near great

Assuming you are not a troll and actually posted this seriously - sign with SVB and don’t look back, kid.

 

you have to be more detailed on what your career goals are (is it IB/PE, HF, corporate, are you more interested in middle market, larger deals, what industries, etc.) and what offices for each cuz different offices can make significant differences and some of your options seem to be splitting hairs

 

Ullam nulla impedit omnis sit aut aut laborum libero. Minus sit debitis officia temporibus illo est id.
