FT offer BB vs EB - Decision to make

Hi monkeys,

I'm currently interning and have received a FT offer from an EB in Europe (Moelis, Evercore, Lazard, PJT, Rothschild), but also recently received a FT offer for a top BB in a good team (GS, MS, JPM).

Bit stuck on what to do, my industry coverage is guaranteed at the BB (and perhaps slightly better brand name), whereas at my current place I will be rotated (but spend less time on financing). Team culture is nice at both places making it even more difficult.
 

I also do plan on moving to the buy side later on, and was wondering if the BB name helps with headhunters in EU. Any advice would be much appreciated.
 

Best,

JC 

 

If I were you I'd go with the good team/top BB, as top BBs tend to have a bit more clout than EBs in Europe than compared to in the US.

Also, there's a sizable difference between Lazard/Rothschild and Moelis/Evercore/PJT in Europe. If it's Lazard or Rothschild I may have to re-consider, but I'd take a top group in a top BB over Moelis/Evercore/PJT in Europe if I want to 2 years and out any day.
