BlackRock vs JPMC

Have offers for trading summer analyst at both BlackRock and JP Morgan. BlackRock is in Atlanta and JP Morgan is in NYC. I don't care at all about company culture. Which one looks better on a resume? If BlackRock was also in NYC I'd probably take them over JPMC, but because it's in Atlanta, I don't know which to take now.

Congrats on both offers. In terms of the trading internship, JPM NYC far outweighs Blackrock Atlanta. Not sure how the BLK program is structured but the JPM trading internship is one of the best on the street hands down. The pure breadth of exposure you get to different groups, products, and people, is second to none. Have reviewed dozens of resumes and know from interns who did not secure offers from our trading program had little to no trouble lateraling to other shops. Group/desk placement is also very improtant so depending on if it was FI or equities, that may change how you approach your decision.
