Very fortunate enough to be have received SA offers at "low-tier" BB (Barclays, UBS, DB) and a highly respected MM (think HL, Baird, Blair). Trying to decide between the two primarily based on my long-term interest in PE.
Any insight would be helpful!

Is any of the offer group specific?
I will say go for BB- a semi-decent group at low-tier BB will still give you solid experience if you decide to re-recruit for FT. If it is a top group at MM (ie HL-restructuring) then it is a different story.
Generalist offer for BB and MM (Group placement later), therefore I'm unsure as to where I could end up in either situation.
