How are your political skills?
Pros: 1. You'll learn
2. You'll earn, salaries and bonuses are good - even in bad times
3. People are mostly very smart
4. Experiences depend vastly on which bit of the bank you are in
Cons: 1. American work culture is totally different to European - don't ask questions, little humour, very New York angsty and a bit paranoid. In sales you'll buy from me because you respect me or believe in me. Not the European you'll buy from me because you trust me and like me. 
2. Highly political - unless you enjoy responding tactically as fast as possible to e-mails copying all the right people, forget it!
