Which would you choose? - Any thoughts?

Interviewing with several firms and am trying to think through which I want to do most. which would you choose:

Citi IBD MS equity research MS IBD DB IBD

Here's how I see it:

MS IBD > everything MS ER > Citi IBD DB IBD > Citi IBD MS ER vs. DB IBD, tough call.

Any thoughts?

I think your priority should be focused on securing work that you are interested in as opposed to brand names. From the looks of your list that would be IB. So something like this makes sense:

  1. MS IBD
  2. Citi IBD
  3. DB IBD
  4. MS ER

At the end of the day you should be casting your net as wide as possible to maximise your options. You might not get an offer from the firm you want now but you can always lateral if you have industry relevant experience down the track. So I recommend applying to as many firms as possible that you can commit the time to interview with and make your decision once your offers have been made.

 

Yes MS IBD is fantastic, but did you really need external validation to stroke ur ego more?

========================================= We are excited to formally extend to you an offer to join Bank of Ameria
 

interested in ultimately going to a HF, and I know you can get there w/ IB or ER, plus IB jobs seem more plentiful than research jobs from an on-campus recruiting perspective. obviously the jobs very different but i think you learn a lot of the same modeling skills in both
