I know the firm's reputation matters a lot for IBD, but how much for S&T positions? I heard it's a lot more about the desk your on rather than the firm you work for. I have a SA offer with a smaller firm on the street, but I would likely be placed on a desk which is ranked #1-#2 on the street. Other offer is with one of the top firms, but it would be in equity research instead.
Any thoughts?

firm rank doesnt matter for s&t...its all about product group
this
Equity research is sort of a whole other ball game. If you want to work at a hedge or a fund manager, then ER. If you want to trade for a hedge (which obviously can pay quite well), than take the S&T placement.
but realize that trading at a BB is ENTIRELY different than trading at a HF. you're basically an execution trader, which IMO kinda sucks
