top MM IB vs regional BB?

have SA offers from HL/Jeff nyc as well as a regional, lesser known office for GS/MS/JPM(not anything like ms menlo/gs tmt). unsure where to go from here as i feel as though the brand of BB is much stronger as well as lateral ability, but being in nyc is where i want to be.

curious about internal location mobility for BB(regional->nyc) from sa to ft as well exits from both offers

It's a toss-up for Chicago IB -> Chicago PE. Otherwise, take the BB unless you want to start IB in NY, in which moving banks is easier than internal mobility (highly recommend Jeff NYC for career and personal linearity)

 

Take the top BB and don't look back. It'll be a bit pain in the ass to arrange interviews, but you will have exponentially better PE opportunities in both NY and in whatever region your bank is located at. Not even comparable.
