CS M&A vs CS Energy vs CS FIG

I currently have offers to CS FIG, M&A, and energy, and need to narrow it down to one group - does anybody have any details on each group's culture/exit opps?

I'm leaning away from FIG already just based on interest, and probably leaning towards M&A, but Energy also does their own M&A work within the group so would arguably have a broader experience in terms of range of transactions. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.

heard cs m&a has fallen off the map a little, but it's still a BB M&A group. If FIG doesn't interest you, I'd rule them out. Does energy not interest you?

 

PM'd you.
