If wanting to stay in IB I’d lean towards WF due to the culture and chiller hours. PE exits are similar but DB has slightly better placements
Very different firms, but as far as brand, prestige, etc. I think they are in a very similar spot right now. Go where you like the people or have the best path to a group you like.
