I'm not in IB, but from what I read on here I would assume the simple confirmation of employment call is going to happen, and if so, it seems dangerous to walk that line.

Option 2 is obviously the right choice. Sorry to be blunt, but I don't understand how it could possibly make sense to mislead a potential future employer as to which firm you are currently working for.

Assuming you switched firms for a good reason (more reputable group, more modeling experience, etc) I don't see how that would be a negative in this context. And frankly, even if you were let go, it still wouldn't make sense to pretend you're still working in your old group.
