I've got offers on S&T Summer Intern in HK from JP Morgan and Merrill Lynch these two banks. Both on the equity side. How will you choose and why? Thank you!

1st of all how did u get an offer so late? Pretty sure BBs were done recruiting in Dec (genuinely curious)

Incoming S&T SA here, HK office - imo JPM > BAML since JPM's the most well-regarded out there. Also i think BAML's rotational program is kinda stupid tbh, 3 rotations and forces u to do both ficc and equity (and both trading and sales I believe). But choose the bank that u feel is the best culture fit - I received multiple offers and chose a lesser-ranked Euro BB over an American BB because I liked the culture there better. Just my 2 cents hope this helps
