2026 SA: DC Advisory (Generalist M&A) vs BofA S&T?

Having trouble deciding what to do here. I was deadset on IB, but got cut by all my top choices, so now it's between these 2 to figure it out. BofA has more prestige, but it's also S&T... And DC Advisory is banking... Looking for insights on comp, exits, experience, culture, etc.
