Where to for FT? Evercore Tech v. GS TMT (all bay area)

Hi guys, I know this is such a cliche question, but I don't think there was a similar thread before, so gotta ask you folks.

Two offers — Evercore Tech in Menlo Park or Goldman Sachs TMT in San Francisco. Both are full-time offers and there are no differences as far as numbers go.

I love tech and Silicon Valley, so both are great opps. However, Evercore's culture and exposure to senior management is very tempting.

I'm really sorry for making this such a last minute — I have slightly more than a week to decide and would really appreciate anyone's help.

So what did you end up deciding?

 

^Conversely, thought the EVR Menlo Park group came across as the smartest group I interviewed with across a range of elite boutiques, BBs and a PE firm or two. Impressions can certainly vary :)
