Wells Fargo or Fifth Third

Wells does a lot of ABF and is pretty high on the league tables. I don't think fifth third does a lot of sponsors stuff (if they do, will mostly be on levfin side). I'd say this is about what you want to do. If you want to chill as a banker and make high 6 figures, I'd choose Wells ABF (you'll have limited exit opps). If you are interested in exits / buyside, I'd take FSG at fifth third. Just remember, 5 3 is not a strong bank.

To add: How difficult would it be to lateral to a more traditional IB group like TMT, healthcare, etc

What office and FT or Sa? Lmk so I can help on the subject

are you actually joking? why in the fuck would you ever think about picking 5 3 over WF?

Personally would take WF. Their ABF numbers have been pretty strong overall, and know some people who have achieved moderately good exits. I would imagine that it would be easier to move to BB from WF than 5/3. 

How do you know for sure you’re in ABF? I’m an incoming SA at WF and we just got emails last week about the placement process kicking off. I was under the impression that everyone got platform offers
