BARC or WF?

have an offer from WF to join a covg group (FIG/Energy/TMT let's just say....) and BARC to join a product team (DCM/ECM/ABS)

which one is stronger? assume i know nothing you won't be far off.

 

I would go to WF coverage group as it will be easier to lateral to a different bank's coverage group from there (if you want to). A lot of people on here seem to have trouble going from ECM/DCM to coverage/M&A groups but idk how true that is in actuality. One note though is that Barclays is really good about mobility between groups so if you were to go to Barclays, after ~2 years you could switch internally to coverage.

 

Coverage at Wells. Easier to lateral if you want later on. Currently at a MM and we've basically strayed away from DCM/ECM bankers at even BB since we need people with M&A reps.
