If You Could Work In Any Group at An EB & Build A Career Post MBA Which Would You Choose

If You Could Work In Any Group at An EB & Build A Career Post MBA Which Would You Choose?

Considering pursuing IB if I go to B-School. Doing Corp Strat at a well-respected firm that isn't FAANG, but close in prestige. Interested in where you would want to work long-term. 

Again, I really don't care about the GS brand, if anything, I'd be just as happy working at Ardea, Q even if 99.9% of the population never recognized the firm. 

So where would you choose to work if given the chance?
