Hi there, 

First of all, congrats to your offers - this is a nice problem to have and you can't really go wrong ! Here are some of my thoughts on your questions..

Re 1: how is the EYP FSO team in Singapore? such as brand, exit, work life balance, project types. 

Having worked in SG, I can say that brand and exit opportunities for EYP are quite decent roughly comparable with ATK - it's definitely possible to move up the ladder to MBB. In terms of work life balance, it varies quite a bit, but would expect it to be slightly better than in Shanghai (I used to also intern for ATK in Shanghai actually). In terms of projects, I don't have full visibility, but if you'd like to learn more / get a candid view, I can connect you to a friend in my network, who was in the exact EYP team recently.  

Re 2: whether Kearney enjoys a better branding than EYP? does it matter in the long run, exit (MBB / MBA)? 

It's fair to say that Kearny has a slight edge in terms of branding, however it will be immaterial for both MBB and MBA exit opportunities. For both types, EYP brand will be attractive enough to open the doors. 

Re 3: Whether is it good to start from a broader industry rather than focusing on Financial services?

There are pros and cons for both - if you would like to have wider range of exit options, it typically makes sense to explore different industries in the initial 1-2 years, before you start to specialize. Note that the higher you climb the career ladder (esp. Manger level onwards), the more you will get locked in / the more subject matter expertise is expected of you. On the other hand, early specialization often comes with benefits such as more support from senior levels, faster career progression / promotions, smoother work live due to better credibility with clients. For some people, those factors outweigh their interest in a specific topic / industry, hence they commit early. That said, really depends on what you care about most.

Finally, my personal take is that it may also make sense to consider the geographic lens - if you are aiming for an international career, working in Singapore for a while will be the better choice, as mobility towards top tier MBAs, global MBB offices is typically much higher than from China. 

Hope this helps - feel free to reach out via PM if you'd like to learn more about above or about working in SG.
