Top MM Group I love vs BB
Hi everyone, going through the recruiting process I have been fortunate enough to get two "guranteed" interviews through verbal confirmation with seniors. One is at a top MM C&R group I absolutely love everyone in the group and the other is with a BB (BOFA/Citi/Barc) from nepo. Assuming both interview processes go well I was wondering if it is unreasonable to choose the MM for the people.
top MM so i get the spot at the BB
As the great Thomas Jefferson wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
The happiness you’d lose going to a BB over a group you’re sure you fit isn’t worth it. If you’re genuinely a good fit at that MM, take the offer. Don’t listen to the hardo prospects on this forum who obsess over rankings and circlejerk over firm names, what actually matters is landing somewhere you’ll learn a lot and have a clear path ahead of you. You’re far more likely to do both at a place where you love the people.
There’s also a performance angle, not just a happiness one: people do better work in an environment that suits how they operate, so a real culture fit tends to make you better at the job, not just happier in it.
Culture makes or breaks an experience in IB. Would go with your gut
