Hi there,

I agree with Vlad - the NYC offices are some of the most competitive worldwide!

Both NYC and Chicago should have a healthy amount of projects in both Financial Services and Healthcare. That said, Chicago will have more work in manufacturing and consumer goods while NYC will have more in TMT.

I'd highly recommend you get networking ASAP! Informational calls are not only great for potentially getting referrals, but also giving you much more of a feel for what the respective offices will really be like!

Hi,

In terms of the chances of getting an interview, Chicago is way easier than NY. Thus, if you don't have a strong preference for FS, I would recommend Chicago

Hello!

This is the kind of questions that are wondrful for a coffee chat when networking with current firm members.

In any case, keep in mind that NYC is one of the most difficult ones to get in, sine there is huge demand.

Hope it helps!

Cheers, Clara

Hello there!

I agree with the experts that in terms of competitiveness NYC would be the most competitive. One thing to add is that both NYC and Chicago MBB are great.

However, I would suggest you looking at the situation from a different perspective and think about where you would like to live, how life in Chicago would be different and whether you would be satisfied with it.

Networking for the insights would also be great.

Good luck!

Cheers,
