Sector vs Product teams

Hi,

I have a couple of BB offers to join sector teams (O&G, Industrials) and a couple to join product teams (M&A, ECM).

I wanted to know the main pros and cons of each and which is likely to give me the best exposure to modelling etc. and which would give the best exit opportunities.

Thanks,

S

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
