Don’t sell yourself short. Tell GS about the offer and see what happens.
Thanks, will do. If I end up with two (written) offers, what would you advise me to consider? I honestly didn't think I'd get this far, so I feel a little underprepared.
I would take GS, unless the office in your country is for some reason worse. Also, once you get the offer, if you really want to be in a specific group I’d try to leverage your other offer to see if you can get direct group placement.
First, congrats on going deep in two process. My advice is to rethink what is important to you.
Based on OP it sounds like you want the GS brand. BofA was a good recruitment experience at a top group, but it doesn't matter if you get a platform GS offer. Nothing wrong with that and I'm not judging. But you need to be honest with what you want.
Assuming offers from both, the experience is going to be very different (team/bank culture) while deal exposure and exits (assuming you're an analyst) are materially the same.
So think about what you care about and be honest with yourself.
Is this for an internship or are you a lateral?
Definitely some good comments advocating for the latter, but I’d also make sure you consider the nature of the work as well. LBO modeling at BofA FSG will set you up for MF PE better than just about anywhere, plus it’s more fun than formatting pitch decks by a country mile, and if you decide to get into the weeds of the model, sponsor investment thesis, debt covenants, etc. it can be a a really rich learning experience. If you are dead set on a specific industry, however, like tech, then I’d lean towards a coverage group at GS.
Would you want your resume to say Investment Banking Analyst at Goldman Sacs or at BoA?
