LDN vs NYC vs FFM

Pretty simple I wanted to hear your thoughts on the above locations. I have offers in both LDN and FFM and I am going for one semester to US and hope to break into NYC. Just wanted to make an informed decision regarding the location

Juat some thoughts of mine (dont know if they are accurate though)

Salary (base): NYC = LDN > FFM

Salary (bonus): don't have enough information

Rent: NYC > LDN > FFM
other living expenses: NYC = LDN > FFM

Deals: guess it depends on bank, EB's specifically vary for example lazard better in europe and evercore better in US. Also (this is specifically for FFM) some banks only have small offices and work 80% of the times crossoffice

Exit: also depends on bank and exit options. In Europe especially Germany EB are not known outside typical PE exit.
Regarding PE NYC > LDN > Germany (FFM & MUN). However in Germany exit is easier since the percentage PE vs IB Analysts is quite high - a lot of PE Analysts even join after BSc.

I hope you could share some thoughts on my ideas and maybe add something if I forgot something.
