Btw, would accommodation/rent be covered by the firms? I know that many IBs would typically be willing to do that. If that's the case, it would make the decision a lot easier.
No. None of the firms would cover rent for fresh graduates. It is quite typical in the west to move to a new city to work and then having to rent. I think Singapore is really an anomaly in which most guys/girls in their 20s still live at home (obviously, due to insane housing prices). But in New York/London, it is extremely common for people in their 20s to rent and firms expect you to cover the cost yourself.
