CICC beijing or Morgan Stanley Hong Kong

Both IBD M&A analyst.

Already received ms offer and expecting the CICC offer. Which one should I take if the plan is to come back to the states for biz school?

Wonder if anyone can comment on culture, hours and total comp at CICC in recent years (2012-2013) in their Beijing office?

I will be a lateral hire from a top boutique in the u.s. Any other question please ask me.

Thanks,

US biz schools would value MS more than CICC, no matter how much CICC crushes in Beijing and MS fucks around.

Not saying MS HK fucks around though.
