Top EB vs Tech MF PE for SA

Hi all,

Fortunate to have an offer from an EB (CVP/EVR/PJT) and an offer from a software-focused MF. It's a great problem to have but I would love any input or advice on how to go about making the decision. Some thoughts I have are that banking gives you a huge network during those first two years and I don't imagine oncycle is horribly difficult from one of the banks I mentioned. On the other hand, getting a headstart in PE (although the analysts don't model, so I've heard) is definitely a great opportunity. Very conflicted and can't go wrong but just wanted some input. Thank you!

I would argue the opposite, based on the thread above.

You may not get another MF shot especially with on-cycle, but I do agree in that you should be interested in tech if you’re gonna take that offer.
