Message Name: a few questions

Message: The overwhelming consensus is that MS and GS are the top two banks on the Street, arguably followed by ML, SSB, and CSFB (in no particular order). I'm starting as an associate in IB at one of the latter banks in a few months, and I've got a few questions. 1. Are the exit opportunities really that much better from GS and MS than from ML, SSB, and CSFB? 2. Is it better to be working in a good group at SSB, ML, or CSFB, or to be working in any group at MS or GS? (FYI - I'm going to be in M&A). 3. If it really is that much better for the career to be at MS or GS, then is it very difficult to switch to one of those banks after a year or so?
