JPM vs LAZARD vs GS - Investment Banking in Argentina

Hey, I'm currently a Junior at a "target" university in Argentina, and I'm considering the possibility of working in IB here in Argentina (Analyst years) at one of these 3 Banks: JPM, Lazard, or GS, which are known for having the largest IB teams in Argentina.

Even though the majority of the IB teams located here in Argentina work with the LatAm groups based in NY, I was wondering which of the 3 firms would be the best option to aim for, straight out of undergrad.
I'm a US citizen, and looking to move to NY in a few years... so I was hoping to get advice from someone on whether this would be a good way to eventually achieve that goal.

Any advice/ info related to this subject would be appreciated!

 

Do you know If they have a LatAm group based in NY? Ideally I would like to work in a LatAm group. Also, is it common for employees to be moved from one country to another? (I would assume that being a US citizen makes the probability of this occurring a lot higher)
