SVB Leerink vs SIG (Susquehanna International Group)

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?

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?
