Boutique IPO or Boutique PE for better career prospects?
Hi all,
Could I get some advice on the following. I am currently an auditor at an accounting firm. Been around for a few years and recently managed to land the following interviews / offers:
1) Offer 1 - Boutique IPO
Pros: They match my current pay and firm has a good track record.
Cons: IPO market isn't doing well and I don't really have the interest in this.
2) Interview 1 - Boutique PE
Pros: Work seems more interesting as have a stake in understanding the operations and perhaps suggesting improvements. Probably more upside (?)
Cons: Firm has just started off and currently AUM is IPO offer. Would transitioning to M&A or buyside roles be easier?
3) Any tips on how to get the boutique IPO firm to push back their offer deadline? I am supposed to get back to them by this week. I doubt I would hear from the Boutique PE firm by then.
@Dingdong08" could I get your input on this, please? You always have great insights to share on PE and finance in general.
Thank you very much.
