Bain Consulting to Buy Side Work

Hey guys, wanted to know how well / in demand people are coming out of bain consulting (with a rotation in their private equity group) to get interviews / land jobs as associates at some of the more larger hedge funds / pe shops? are they just as competitive with bain on their resume as say, a goldman or morgan ibd kid? anyone going through / been through the interview process now at solid hedge funds / pe shops have experience seeing kids from bain also interviewing? trying to decide between an offer at bain and a bulge bracket bank doing IB. thanks.

dude for the last time if

dude for the last time if you want buyside finance you are better off doing a top IBD gig.

Bain is a great company and affords you a billion other exits; buy side PE / HF is still better from banking backgrounds tho.

Well do you want to do

Well do you want to do consulting or IB? That's probably the question you want to answer first.

I heard of just as many M/B/B consultants going into PE/VC as BB bankers. I would think not as many to HF, but I'm not sure.
