Difference will be inconsequential to the grand scheme of your career. Would be nitpicking between the two. Very similar setups and employees moving around between the two.
If I had to choose between the two, would be SMBC, but once again, no real conviction that the differences matter
Pretty comparable but my vote would be for MUFG due to the significant equity stake it holds in Morgan Stanley. I am pretty sure MUFG sends some of its top employees to MS on temporary 1 or 2-year assignments (I've heard it described as a sort of "exchange program") and there are various formal as well as informal events organized between the two banks, so with a ton of hustle (and even more luck) you might be able to network yourself into a job at MS starting from MUFG
What do you think about SMBC-Jefferies recent alliance?
it really really depends on what type of role you have at the bank. I interned junior summer at SMBC FYI.
