Citi Industrials vs BofA EGRC

Need to choose between these two groups for MBA summer associate role, would love any insights. My long term goal is to work in energy transition either in investing or bizdev/corpdev role for a climate tech firm. Thanks!

BofA EGRC has a strong climate tech team, so if your intentions are to exit into energy transition then this would probably be the best choice.

That being said, there are a lot of analysts and associates that have no clue what they’re doing and a number of people that were let go from other groups or didn’t get promoted somehow ended up getting sent to this group. The culture is good, but if you truly want to exit then you won’t have good WLB because you’ll end up having to do your job + the analysts job.

This is correct. Reality is EGRC is bottom bucket performers / lifestyle bankers at every level except for some MDs who joined earlier.
