Mid-tier BB for IB (NY) vs. Top-tier BB for Global Markets (HK)

If I were in your shoes I would pick the Mid tier BB in NYC.

• These banks usually have offices in all parts of the world so you can always transfer after a year or two. (Asia aspect of your goal)

• Your long term goal is to work in IB and hence, this would set you up in the right track. Plus, having banking experience in a NYC BB is very well regarded all over the world and would make things easier moving forward. (IB aspect of your goal)

• Give yourself the opportunity to explore a different city/lifestyle before moving to Asia. It’s great that you know exactly what you want but it would be a great person experience to have short-term exposure to a different cultures etc.

My two cents. Good luck with your decision
