Which amongst these would you have chosen- Citi, Blackrock, RBC, RBS

So I had to choose for FT amongst, and I chose Citi. But now I look back and feel I should've evaluated my offers a bit more.

  1. Citi CMO
  2. BlackRock Risk and and Quant analysis
  3. RBC Muni Finance- Cap Markets
  4. RBS Asia Markets Analyst

Since there nothing I can change now, I guess I gotta stick with Citi and hopefully have a decent exit opp.

leveRAGE.theres no need to go back and have others confirm or discredit your decision...its not something you need. your decision was fine. look forward, not backward-theres nothing you can do now, and no good can come from second guessing your decision

Agreed. No reason to ask yourself "what-ifs" now.

It'd be between Citi and BlackRock for me.

Thanks a lot for the comments. Although I've searched the forums a lot, I couldn't find any answer specific to Citi CMO. What are the typical exit opportunities after Citi CMO, considering I'm thinking of working in either Derivative Solutions or Securitized Products. I've heard the structuring done in CMO is not a transferable skill to hedge funds, but not sure if it's entirely true. Here are the groups they have. Which one do you guys think would give me the best exit opp if I want to work at a hedge fund, doing either research/trading/structuring.
