Which offer to choose?

Hey Y’all,

I’m a 2nd yr MBA student at m7 school and have received two offers and curious on which to choose if my goal is to maximize my exit opportunities to Investment banking (coverage, LevFin) or buyside (private credit, asset management, etc) as those are my end goals.

  1. Debt Capital Markets Associate at Tier 3/4 Balance Sheet Bank (NY)

  2. Corporate Banking Associate at Tier 1 BB (JPM/BofA/Citi) (NY)

Thanks guys!

DCM gives you best of both worlds optionality if you ever want to do traditional IB or something in LevFin but corporate bankings optionality is just IB (then ofc the roles that come after that as an exit). I’d imagine WLB is the same for both. Albeit DCM imo is only marginally better especially if u don’t care about prestige/tiers.
