a revolving door...my friend is there and it's really growing. Have continually hired top people from Citi. M&A there sucks but there are some good groups. THey pay the same, Sometimes it's good to be a small fish in a big pond. Especially in terms of bonus and promotions...being put on deals. A lot of what you do your fitst 2 years is experience, so what deals you have been on/what you have learned is really what matters. You don't want to be at a goldman and not be on anything good or else it will be harder when you are trying to jump from a HF. Just depends on waht you want. Also Bank of America is the largest bank in the world - that has some power.
I think their culture is good - they went from being a no name to some recognition in 8 years - pretty impressive I think. They are getting big deals from banks that have been around for a long time. They also have some major capital.

Along with Citi and JPM, they have the top Debt Capital Markets Group on the street. They're left lead on the debt financing for HCA, and they pretty much get to look at all big debt deals. IBD not quite as good - they rarely win left lead mandates for advisory work, usually they're joint at best, and are stuck with the universal bank stigma of leading with their balance sheet. Culture in NYC supposed to be the same as all other large banks - and then they still have some bankers in Charlotte where the culture is, for obvious reasons, pretty different.
I think the culture within FGS is great and well respected. A lot of people dog their non-debt stuff, but I think they are making positive strides. Overall, great company with fantastic people, of the numerous I have met with thus far.

BoA is a legit shop. If you don't have any other offers, why should it matter?
