Picking the right IB group

WSO nation,
Got an offer from one of BB banks with the potential of joining these teams: Automotive, Transport & Infra, Metals & Mining and Oil & Gas. Any ideas which one has better prestige and more impact on the career after IB given questionable economic conditions in the near time? At some point in the future, I'm interested in joining funds or niche consulting. Any advice based on your experience would be highly appreciated.

You may have missed the oxford comma? But I'm going to get in before everyone else and way what you're most interested in. If your from the south maybe O&G. If your from the south east maybe Metals and Mining. Judging by the teams I'm guessing your offer isn't NYC, SF, or Chicago. Transportation and Infrastructure will give you solid all around skills and it looks good for PE. But if you're going to be pulling long hours your exit ops will be better if you're doing something you're more interested in.

 

All depends on which banks. Group prestige / placement / deal flow is highly dependent on bank.

Oil & gas and metals & mining to some extent will slot you into the "natural resources" track, but if you're interested in that, it's a good thing.

Not sure about automotive.

As poster already said, transport and infra will give you good general skills, but again everything dependent on bank
