Currently a first-year analyst in a coverage group at BofA. Been on the job for about 12 months now and I've realized I want to do this for a few more years. Which is better though, stay at BofA or move to GS? I've enjoyed BofA in terms of wlb and culture but starting to wonder if GS might be better in regards to someone who wants to be a career banker. Let me know your thoughts!

No one goes to GS above elsewhere for anything but the prestige, name and frankly exit ops.
OP - you want to be a career banker, and you enjoy your job. Why would you want to go anywhere else? Pay will be the same, so what’s the issue? Who cares if you aren’t the most Turbo Prestigious banker at GS…. I
