Santander (NYC) vs. Truist (NYC or Charlotte)

Hi all, in early stages of IB analyst recruiting. I have connections at both Truist and Santander.

Which bank would you say is better?

What groups are strong at each?

Where do analysts at each typically exit to?

CS had the strongest sponsors group and Santander took some huge names after the fall so should be very solid

 

Their lev fin and fsg should be strong but not sure if they will be hiring they also brought juniors with them
