Would you take a top hedge fund offer (soros, Citadel, Paulson, Moore, Bridgewater) over a top BB offer out of undergrad (Goldman, JPM, MS) if you could? Assuming your ultimate goal is to be in a hedge fund down the road, do you think that makes sense. I have heard some people express the concern that you lose out on networking and training, but I imagine the upsides are worth it. Thoughts?

Top hedge fund, assuming it's a front-office role and the strategy of the fund is aligned with what you want to do long-term. If you're personable, your network will be just fine since you'll interact with other buysiders, institutional investors, and sell-side S&T coverage.
Um, assuming the hedge fund role is front-office, how is this even a question? I would take any of those funds over a BB easily.
If your ultimate goal is HF and its not a middle / back office role, HF every single time.
I'm always confused by questions like these.
"top HF or MO at Citi?!?!?!!"
Assuming your end goal is to get on the buy side and not be an associate at a BB, why wouldn't you take the HF offer? Skip the BS and go straight to the top fund. You're lucky.
This makes no sense. It depends on what you want to do.
Top BB (IBD or S&T) --> Securities / Banking Top HF --> Buyside -- INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT.
Decide what the fuck you want to do, and then choose. Personally, I am more interested in asset management and would go for the HF.
