WF vs Truist vs Stephens vs Growth Equity

Currently trying to choose between Wells Fargo, Truist, and Stephens for an IB analyst program or going to a growth equity firm in Boston (most of the people there came direct from Iveys or through BB).

I am coming from a non-target school in the southeast. Long-term I think I want to go into VC.

 

I have no idea about GE but if you want IB then go for WF. I interned there and it’s growing. I get that placement can be less than ideal (it was for me) but if you’re able to get a decent group in either NYC or Charlotte then you’re fine. I think ultimately it depends on what your goals are and what city you want to be in. Other people can provide more detail about GE.

 

Ultimately it's WF vs GE (especially its an Ivey club & if you want to do GE eventually). WF gives you better shot at PE recruiting while GE gives you investing experience out of UG.

No one in finance cares about Truist.
