Long-time forum lurker facing big decision!
I am a rising senior at a big Midwestern state school interested in consulting for full-time. However, I would like to transition into a investment role at a UMM/MF PE fund after two years in consulting. I currently have a full-time offer from a T2 firm in NYC, my ideal location, but I am still considering applying to MBB for full-time as well. However, given my school's reputation/location, those potential offers would be in less ideal cities (non-NYC/SF/CHI).
So long story short, does a second-tier MBB office offer a competitive advantage in PE recruitment over a T2 firm in NYC? And if so, is it worth sacrificing location for PE recruitment?
If the T2 is particularly focused on deals (ie S& or LEK) personally I believe you have a better shot at gaining PE exposure in your tenure compared to MBB outside of the key offices where PE are based (NYC and SF)
Found the guy who works at PWC 🤣
