BofA PA Tech M&A vs CS Generalist NY

I was debating between these two options. I always wanted to get in tech banking so I'm leaning towards BofA PA. But I wanted to hear everyone's opinion on wether or not I will be getting a better experience starting my career in NY rather than PA as well as opinion on living in either cities. Thanks. 

 

BofA tech M&A.. don’t go to CS New York. Almost all of the top group heads at CS nyc left after the Archegos fiasco (there was a WSJ article on CS senior exodus a few days ago)

 

>I always wanted to get in tech banking

I mean, if that what you’ve always wanted to do, I think it’s a no brainer. And you’ll be around the rest of the tech industry/other tech groups.

As for city experience, it’s really up to you. They’re so different, that I feel taking the time to just think about your personal preferences or even visiting the cities would be more helpful. 

Also, by generalist do you mean the M&A group? 

 

Thanks for the response. I wanted to know more in terms of career progression would NY be a better place to start off?And in terms of generalist I meant that I will be assigned a group after the internship

 

Well where do you want to progress towards? If you want to go towards the tech route, take the tech banking role. If you’re not sure about tech anymore, take CS.
