CS S&T or BAML S&T or MS/GS PWM

Please help.

I have offers from CS and ML S&T (summer), which one is better? Or would you pick PWM at MS or GS - which I am still waiting to hear back. And I do not know what I want to do in the future yet. They both said I can choose the desk.. but I don't know which to pick!

Please help!! Really appreciated.

maximus307are the S&T offers for fixed income, equities, or generalist?

CS on Cash Flow Equities, and can pick desk- as in regional or HK/China. And BAML undecided- can pick as well.

 
HBS_or_BustI'd take GS anything, more prestigious.

and thats why your name is HBS or Bust.....more likely referring to the bust part

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

They both said i can pick my desk. Which product/region should i do? I'm guessing I'd be a sales rather than trader. Which firm on Wall Street is best at S&T?

 

Yea I would def say stick with S&T regardless of name its not like CS or BAML are some middle market or no name firm lol In terms of the desk CS is definitely stronger in equities and BAML is so big now they are strong across desks from what I hear. Unless you can get placed on a star equities desk at CS id personally go with BAML, they are strong in many different areas.

 

S/T. Its easier to leverage into a top MBA. It also would have better exit ops because of the implied better quantitative ability.

 

Great! Thank you so much everybody for the input :) wilder01, sorry if this post bothered you. I was just trying to gain opinion on these offers specifically from BAML and MS
