NYC vs Chicago vs SF for the M&A market? Assume NYC is largest but are there any advantages to the others?

Each city has diverse clientele but the work will tie in to their respective dominant industries, eg Tech in SF, Finance in NYC. M&A can take you all over the country, maybe even the world, depending on who buys who. If you have any industry preference you can play things that way.

Chicago seems to be a good central location for consumer and retail industries.

would NYC not be better for those industries?

We’re almost back to precovid. You’re going to have to travel regardless.

Hey, so I was offered a CDP position as an analyst in Accenture starting this fall, but today I just found out I got the Fulbright scholarship to be an ETA in Thailand for a year. It’s an honor of course, and I’m thinking about asking my recruiter if I could delay my Accenture start date for a year. Would it be worth it to do so? Is it even possible?
