No, question was whether brand name matters more in FO than in BO.

For FO - in GS/ JPM / MS FO you can earn double / triple of what local banks FO earns.

In BO - i think there is not much difference, but heard that local banks pay higher bonuses to non-FO people compared to in BB banks. SO if you're in BO then brand name might not be so important.

In any case if you are in BO you can lead a life of mediocrity, which isn't bad - stable but just won't be able to lead the high life.

If question was whether OCBC IB vs GS BO, then I will take OCBC IB and try to move to BB IB - which is easier than moving from GS Ops to GS IB. (but still ****ing difficult)
