KPMG Audit vs Natixis (help me decide offers)

Hey everyone,

Bit of background, I'm at an extreme non target in the UK (think university of kingston/wolverhampton/bradford) with 2:2 grades currently and managed to land a few offers for SA. I'm currently deciding between KPMG in their prestigious Audit group and another bank which I hadn't heard of before applying called Natixis. Not sure they even do M&A, think it's primarily lending. Leaning more towards KPMG for the brand name and also pay (heard Natixis pay tiny bonuses). Can anyone else chime in with any thoughts? Much appreciated thanks!

This is definitely a troll post, he manages to receive an offer from Natixis supposedly and doesn't even know what he applied for (gave it away that hes lying). Natixis does IB (primarily Capital Markets, Lev Fin) The bonus is strictly based on deal flow so no its not tiny, but compared to BB its alright. Only an idiot would choose a big 4 over a prominent and well respected MM.
