Citi vs Nomura SA Offers

I've got some great advice from a few individuals from the boards but wanted some input from the S&T Boards.

Both offers are within Operations.

Offer 1: Nomura - Will most likely grant my request to be put in equities. Expansion may help me transfer from BO to FO. Also paying me more than Citi (Which doesn't matter in the long run)

Offer 2: Citi - Institutional Clients Group (S&T, IBD, PWM, AM) Interns won't be placed until after offers are accepted or rejected. Unsure of my chances to get into S&T Ops.

Any thoughts? I feel as in Citi I would be 1 in a million and the transfer from BO to FO would be tougher, but would the brand name help when FT recruiting comes? I really like the interviewer at Nomura, and feel like the expansion would be beneficial for me, but am unsure of the new SA program.

Yeah but if he doesn't get into S&T Ops he'll not have much of a chance to lateral to S&T FO.
