Moelis: You will work really, really hard, and culture may not be the best, but you will almost certainly learn a lot that you can leverage into a BB IBD offer.

BAML: Doing very well in league tables this year and last, probably will become a top 3-4 bank in the next two-three years given it's strong platform. There's some damage to brand though due to the whole Ken Lewis/Merrill debacle.

Barcap: Doing pretty well, firm that's on the up and up. Strong conversion rates (told by recruiter that they barely hire any for FT not from their SA class)

Moelis > BAML > Barcap IMO.

Moelis is a good learning platform. In the long run however, i thnk BAML has the most potential just given its sheer size. Barcap also solid choice. Congrats man!
