Absolutely the BBs that’s a no brainer in Europe. If it’s UBS/DB go for the EB but otherwise definitely not.
I disagree for the DB/UBS part. it comes to my mind some people that in the last years made it to top MF/UMM from these places.
go on with the MS if make you fell better I don't care.
Haha why so triggered? The question was related to average groups at BBs. Hence, I would pick PJT over say healthcare at UBS. Obviously you will get good looks if you are at DB LevFin or other strong groups at those two banks.
If you care a lot about the brand name, pick the BB. If you want to get paid, pick the EB.
How would you compare them in terms of exit opportunities?
Most likely a better shot at MF/UMM from the BB, but those spots are not guaranteed either way, also doable from the EB but with a bit more diffculty.
For all the other buy-side ops, you'll have the same access from the EB.
What are you looking for? Its a bit simplistic but in my mind top group at EB translates into top training, top money, top (bad) working hours. Average group at top BB translates into top brand name, top exit opps (recruiters have little clues about top groups within BB/EBs), good experience, average training.
I am pretty sure reputable headhunting firms know which teams are strong/weak at certain banks.
Except from top USBB, I’d take the EB job. Better pay, leaner teams, advisory only. Now if you are dead set on MFPE you’d be marginally better off at a lower BB but even that is debatable. Fit with the respective teams is what you should consider first imo.
Personally, I wouldn't take any group at any EB over GS/MS/JPM in EU. Brand goes a long way and you can always lateral to EBs later
