HSBC vs Nomura S&T Summer 2027

Received offers from both of these for the NYC office and am debating which to take. In terms of both experience while there and exit opps what should I go with here? I don't really have a strong preference based on the team members I've spoken with. Also, does anybody know return rates for both? That would be a great tie breaker if there was a large difference there.

Depends on return and product. If want reliable return HSBC. If want macro products like FXO, rates EM, then HSBC. If want more G10 and equities then Nomura.
