URGENT! PLEASE HELP!! 2022 SA Credit Suisse in NYC or Piper Sandler Consumer in SF?

Ok. I know this sounds like a no-brainer to many of you, but allow me. Credit Suisse in NYC is great for obvious reasons. However, I interned at a MM Consumer PE in San Francisco in my sophomore summer, and it leaned me toward Consumer IB. I also go to school in SF and am more familiar with the city. The consumer team at Piper were really personable throughout the entire process. But I also want to learn more than just consumer.


Please Help! Which one should I take?

Personally, and I could be 100% wrong, I would start broader and bigger to get the full flavor of opportunities available.

You probably don't know everything out there and what you truly enjoy (no one does right out of school). Worst case, if you find you still love consumer and you're not getting any of that exposure, I'd imagine you could probably lateral.

 

Try to do CS Consumer? Or Sponsors / M&A if you want some potential exposure to consumer companies but with better exit opportunities and exposure to more than just consumer. If you have time, it's probably worth trying to leverage those offers for something else (e.g., CVP). If you just want to choose between CS and Piper, this still is a no brainer IMO. Go with CS.
