Which one of the old banks would you like to work for

So, I just finished doing work and I am about to go to sleep, interview tomorrow. Before I do, I decided to post this hypothetical thread...

The year is 1976 and you have offers to join many of the big tme investment banks at the time. Who would you join and why?

I would work for Dillon Read. From what I have read about the bank, it focused on a very tight/intimate relationship with all the companies it advised. It was very loyal and always promoted good, conservative, and sound advise, seemingly unswayed by the day's currents. Finally, it seemed to nurture a culture of loyalty and familiarity among its workers and all those qualities appeal to me

 

If your answer isn't Salomon...

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat, that's a fact.
