IB vs SWF

I was just wondering what people’s opinion are about doing ib out of college vs joining a swf (temasek) out of college if eventual goal is to land at a hf/pe shop.

I’m just interviewing for an internship at both places but was wondering how exit opps differ at both places and thought people in this forum would have a nice idea

 

Investment Banking vs Single White Female?

It will be tough as an analyst, but you'll have to choose one or the other. Unfortunately, the more years you give to IB, the less likely you are to encounter a SWF without kids (this is true for all races, it was OP who specified - but we must remember that love comes in all colors). However, if you choose a SWF over IB, you've blown your shot with IB forever - unless you want to get an MBA.
