Help with choosing offers

Hi guys, I have two offers, one from a top 3 BB and one from an EB (not Lazard/Evercore) in London. I feel like on paper it makes more to choose the BB (brand name, bigger/more complicated deals, more/stronger sector groups) but I didn’t really like the people I interviewed with/met at the BB. I really got along great with the people from the EB though and feel like I’d fit in great there.

Would you still choose the BB and just see whether I get along better with rest of the people or choose the EB based on my gut feeling?

Thx!

I would probably go with your gut. Lazard/Evercore are solid shops.
