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

I'm currently deciding between an offer from a Mid-tier BB for IB in NY (think BAML/Citi/CS) and a Top-tier BB for Global Markets in HK (think GS/MS/JPM).

My eventual goal is to work in Asia, but would prefer working in IB.

Can somebody elaborate on the pros/cons of each and what you would do personally?

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
