If you could get an offer from any investment bank, which one would you choose?

Please include Location and Product/Coverage Group

There have been several similar post but I think this question needs updated answer for 2016. I would choose generalist a Moelis in NY.

This post sounds like a 9 year old at the playground asking others "If you could have any car, what would it be? - make sure you include color and model." Like dude not trying to derail this before it gets started but who cares? I'd understand if you're looking for a specific ranking/opinion/comparison of different groups, but this is the internet and this is WSO, you will find any number of people who will suggest (nearly) every group of every BB is the "best."

 

Breaking into the industry is a long grind. Don't hate on a guy for tryin to keep the mood/thoughts light sometimes. Never hurts to dream a little. NYC JPMorgan M&A would be Christmas x1000.

Don't break yourself on the way to making yourself
