I have offers from both of these for 2019 summer in the IB in New York and I’m wondering which one I should choose based of return rates, league tables, reputation and exit opps (I see myself fitting into the culture at both banks). Some more info, I’m really interested in industry groups at both and I’ve been networking heavily with the BAML C and R group.
Would appreciate any advice for making this decision.

Interested.
Was in this same situation 2 years ago. Feel free to PM.

I'd go with BofA and shoot for the top groups (M&A, Lev Fin, CNR, REGAL etc.) Larger US platform with higher placement in most of the industry league tables.
I would urge you to think hard and not just go with "rankings" and "league tables".
I am not going to convince you either way, but I have heard BAML has lower return offer rate and culture is not that great.
Personally, I know of people who cannot stand the culture at BAML whereas I people at Barclays I know seem to love it. If you are a good analyst you will do well wherever you go at either of these places in terms of exits.
Very true ngreenbanker2 you'll be fine at either bank - make a gut call and go with it.
