Culture sucks across the firm. I mean sucks. Now between these two: FIG has good reputation internally, well organised and apparently with decent people. Don't have good view on hours but seem average for banking. They've done a few good deals recently (FNZ capital raise, RBC / Brewin Dolphin, DB / Numis) but volume is low. Industrials is one of the best and largest teams. Tough hours and solid dealflow. They have a star MD who carries a lot of weight within the firm but I take it culture is mehh..very work oriented folks and bullpen is like a graveyard. In your shoes I'd go for Industrials for dealflow, standing of team internally and lateral optionality.
Thank you for this! Really appreciate the detailed answer
