Regional Banks - Tier 1 BB vs Tier 2 BB

A while ago, I had a superday at a regional Tier 2 BB (UBS/CS/BAML) and it went really well. They were unable to offer me something on the spot though. However, I was the only candidate they retained from that superday, with all the others getting phone calls to say that it would unfortunately be the end of the road for them. Since their analyst class is small, they wanted to make sure that they would interview all schools before formally extending offers. I've been in constant communication with them. They keep reiterating that they think very highly of me, and that they should have an official decision very soon (they gave a specific date, but I'll just leave it out in case). It had nothing to do with me being waitlisted, as they said if I had any other offers, all I had to do was communicate that with them and they would accelerate the process for me

Now I have a superday with a Tier 1 BB (JPM/MS/GS) and although I know very well nothing is in the bag, I just wanted to start thinking about it. I know that things can move very fast, so I just want to be prepared and have formed a good opinion of where I would like to go. Last thing I want is to have a 24hour deadline and panic because I didn't think things through.

 

Yup, both regional offices. I know that saying exactly which bank and which location would be extremely useful in this context, but I don't want to risk it. Could be easy to track me down after that hehe.

 

Unfortunately you can't get a good answer without revealing too much information about which banks and locations. For regional banks it really depends. PM me.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
