Would you rather - Which offer to take?

If you think you would eventually want to go into banking full time, which summer analyst offer would you take?

  1. Jefferies - Sales & Trading - Equity Strategy (New York)
  2. Deloitte - Business Technology Analyst (Phildelphia)

My little buddy (who unfortunately did not make it through the process at my bank) is at a crossroads. He's a super candidate for any job, but just needs some experience before crushing the IBD interviews next winter.

My gut reaction was Jefferies without a doubt, but then it turns out he knows some of the current Business technology analysts at deloitte and would probably enjoy it more. Any thoughts about Jefferies S&T? any thoughts about deloitte --> banking?

My other gut reaction was wow, you got a job in this environment -- that's awesome enough! Thanks for your commentary, guys.

What area of banking is he trying to get into? What are his career goals post-analyst stint?

....Jeffries is big time up and coming in fixed income. They soon will be a primary dealer and they have hired some of the top sales and trading people from places like Bear and Greenwich Capital. If I was fresh out of school and wanted to make a pile of money selling bonds I could think of few better places then Jeffries right now. Seriously, forget about being a consultant at Delloite...for that matter forget about going into banking just go work for Jeffries and try to catch a swelling wave.

 

As a Summer BTA at Deloitte, you don't do shit. Tell him to take Jefferies for sure. Getting interviews in the fall might be a bit difficult since it's not really the IBD experience one's looking for, but it will definitely be more conducive than a BTA gig at DC.
