Hi all,
As someone interested in MBB that is now deciding between M7 schools in Chicago and the Northeast, I was hoping to understand a bit more about how working at MBB in the NYC office would differ vs. the Chicago office, based on industry selection, key practices, and exit opps. My current impression is that NYC will offer a bit more FS and DD projects while Chicago will have a more diversified mix of industries, but some more detail would be very helpful.
For reference, I have been living in NYC for the past 4 years, and though it's not an absolute imperative that I return to the city after the MBA, I see it as a "nice to have." With this in mind, would gunning for the NYC office during the competitive recruitment process still make sense if I'm not trying to optimize for being staffed on a lot of FS projects?
Thanks!
