As the title says, I am deciding between these two (both SA 2026) and heavily leaning towards GS Growth. Would love to hear anything and everything. For BofA I don't have a group yet, b/c placement day is further down the road but would hopefully go M&A or Tech.

Depends. Realistically BofA is a better longer term play where you can lock in and get traditional oncycle type exits to MF/UMM/mega growth type shops + have the two banking years to train yourself up the best for that
But given uncertainty of group placement and BofA not being the best ship to be on rn if I was in your shoes I’d just take GS and be done with it
Appreciate the advice. Thats honestly exactly how I was thinking about it as well.
For sure man. You’re def doing the right things to be in this spot as a sophomore so well done and best of luck!!
I would probably go BofA for the longer term opportunities. Group placement can be hit or miss though. Either way you're doing great.
BofA, unless you come from a total non-target for group placement.
My two cents - Take BofA. Great shop with exits to MF/UMM as mentioned. Consider your future goals; if PE is an interest, I wouldn't let uncertainty about your coverage group sway you away from a great bank with even better exit ops. If you are looking for the answer most people would take, sign BofA. At the end of the day trust your gut, things tend to work out. Best of luck!
Side note, do not go for tech at BofA lol.
was wondering why?
Not doing well / nor is it close to their best group
