Restructuring or lev fin at a bank
Is this a question?
Is IBD (in a standard industry group) really seen as an overwhelmingly better option?
(I'm not including restructuring/lev fin because the bank I have an offer for doesn't do restructuring and the lev fin team is quite weak)
I'm assuming you're referring to MS, if so, I'd go down the route of being a dd desk analyst vs. IBD.
Mainly because MS LevFin sucks and the nature of the work in pure M&A is the most boring thing you can ever imagine.
Actually the two offers are from different banks but thanks for the help.
