Citi Barcap BAML (NYC) or MS Singapore

Hi all,

I am looking for a place to go this summer. Currently have offers from Citi, Barcap, BAML (NYC) and MS (Singapore). Would love to hear some thoughts on this, please let me know. Especially the one who has worked in said firm/location before.

Cheers,

Seconded, Barcap is doing really well for itself right now.

Don't know if you're mentioning NYC, but as per a Menlo VP I talked to recently, their Menlo tech office is ranked as #3 (M&A), #2 (equity), #2 (debt) for q4...not sure if that's accurate, but just what I was told.

I'm assuming you're referring to BarCap. Do you know what groups are big out there? I'm assuming Tech, but what else?

Not sure, but I believe its mainly tech.

 

Got a friend who did a SA with MS Singapore last summer (ECM), didn't get a return offer. He said the office is really small and they're not really hiring. I guess if you're American, got no ties to the region (heck even if you do come from the region), NYC SA gig might be a better option!
