Have to choose between two offers.
SVB Leerink or SIG
SIG would be equity research. I don't know what the exit opps are for that.
SVB Leerink is self explanatory, it's investment banking.
Any advice? What should I be considering?

Not really apples-to-apples. Really depends on what you're looking for beyond IB/ER.
I'm assuming you go to school in PA - funny because I had an offer for BB IB and Philly PE for FT. I would go with SVB here - a lot more opportunity to exit / lateral. Don't really come across SIG ER that much so can't comment much about them. SVB also seems on an upward trajectory and their Life Sciences group is top notch. Just saw they were also an advisor on the $5.4B LHC / UHG deal so their HC Services group looks like its gaining momentum as well. Is your SVB offer for the NYC office?
Is SIG the sell-side or buy-side research group? If it's sell-side, it's just typical research and exit ops would be the same as any other equity research analyst. If it's their buy-side research group, that's their investment arm and people who leave generally go to similar funds like Citadel, Point72, etc.
Never really saw SIG as somewhere you’d go for ER though: more trading. Idk just my two cents

Just curious...I had a superday with SVB last week on 3/25. How long did it take you to hear back after your superday? Feel free to PM me.
