HELP: Citi vs BAML in London

Title pretty much sums it up.

I have been working at a small m&a shop in continental europe and have been trying to lateral to a big bank in London. I have got an offer from Citi and could be getting one next week from BAML (and feel optimistic from what i've talkes to the team). Which one would people generally prefer? Is one gonna be substantially better than the other? Seems like Citi has had some tough years but i'm not hearing great thing from bofa either, plus citi just seems to have a better brand.

Depends what teams at both?

Citi is doing better than BAML in Europe right now.

Although I'm told Europe bonuses at Citi we're dreadful this year.
