JPM IBD vs Citi IBD

For summer internship, which would you guys say is a better choice in terms of prestige/conversion/learning etc - JPM IBD HK or Citi IBD London?

Reasons for JPM -bank prestige -better technical training in HK office -strong deal flow at an expanding office

Reasons for Citi -fantastic at M&A, especially in Europe -London office prestige

Also, does anyone have any idea about conversion for JPM IBD?

Thanks!

"No. Forget Citi. Have you seen their stock? JPM IBD is FARRRRR superior. It's right up there with Goldman. Go to HK."

Hahaha priceless comment. "Have you seen their stock?"

Have YOU seen the league tables? Citi IBD is fine, though I wish I could say the same for UBS. It depends on whether you want to work in HK or London. Even so, Citi's European offices are much stronger in comparison to JPM in Asia from what I've heard.

Nothing wrong with UBS in Europe (or any geography really, except for the US...), I checked the league tables not long ago. They're on par with Citi really.

 

london if london is where u want to be, but any BB experience is equally leverage-able regardless of where u are. I know jefferies sa to GS FT...
