Lone Pine Capital SA vs BB IBD SA

I have this opportunity to interview with Lone Pine but I don't really know much about it. How well regarded is it in the Hedge Fund space? I currently have a few IBD SA offers in hand and have not really thought about doing a SA in HF before... so your inputs would be greatly appreciated. Also, this is for my junior summer if that matters.

 

Top-notch hedge fund. From what I hear guys at KKR and TPG would give up their jobs to work for Lone Pine. How the hell did you get a gig there?

But, they might not give offers or have a low rate (aka you need to blow them away instead of just not fuck up to get an offer) so you might have to consider that. Really no idea though. Also, they are quite small and in CT so if you want a big class to hang out with or rigorous training before starting a career a BB might be a good way to go too

 

super respected tiger cub. if you eventually want to end up on the buyside, you should definitely interview. if you get the job, make sure to crush your internship and then hopefully you can go back full-time (i wouldn't have thought they would hire undergrads). if you don't get full-time, you'll probably still be able to go work for a BB.

 

thanks for all the advice, i'll certainly go for the interview

i guess i'm concerned since i'm not sure this is for me. I haven't really thought about joining a HF at all, and all my interview prep has been on IBD... besides it's been a while since i last interviewed, oh well

p.s. how i got it is complicated... so in short, 'through connection'

 

Is it an SA gig for principal investments or advisory/restructuring?
