Do my personality/skills fit Credit or Equities? Or maybe in IB...
Hi all, sophomore here who is starting to think a little bit about on-cycle PE recruiting - already have a junior year offer at an EB. I will also be doing an internship at a regional boutique this summer, and if I really like it, I probably won't even bother recruiting PE senior year. If I hate it or am on the fence, I will recruit on-cycle or maybe even to a FT analyst program.
In terms of my personality/skills, I'm a decently social person (extroverted introvert). I'm very good at building a large network, maintaining it, and getting others to think that I'm competent. I'm pretty technically sharp as well, and think that this combo of skills would work well in IB as an MD. However, if I were to go to the buyside and choose between equity and credit, this is where I am not sure. I like the idea of credit being more rules-based and tangible...I understand the "science" of credit, but am not sure if I have the "art" that is needed in equities. I know PE in recent years has been driven by levered beta; is that "art" aspect in PE becoming more important with higher rates?
Overall, it makes more sense to me to lend against assets, cash flows, etc. and make "event-driven" investments, doing some unsecured lending as well. Would love to hear opinions on this. Kinda having some impostor syndrome thinking about making large investment decisions and wonder if credit makes more sense for me.
You're overthinking this. Get some internships, see what you like/where you fit in and go from there.
