I'll be starting at a BB Ibank this summer and I am debating between a product group (specifically Lev Fin) or an industry group (specifically health-care).. I know the typical pro's and con's of each group but I was wondering what your sentiments were.
Thanks!

Depends on your bank.
1) Is there a particular area you are interested and want to work in down the road?
2) Is a particular group very strong at your bank, that is a big reason?
3) Where do you fit in the best/Who do you get along with the best (maybe the most important)
Obviously if you love the people, but the group totally sucks, then it might not be the best call. In the end it's a balancing act depending on your personal objectives. But remember, 100 hours a week with the same people, your life can be miserable or good (as good as 100 hours a week can be) depending on the people around you.
