1. Global M&A group at a BB i-bank (NOT GS/MS though...)
2. Internal M&A / venture capital at a pharmaceutical company (US$25bn market cap, so not a mega-pharma company, but not a tiny one either)
What do you think are the pros and cons of each one? especially with regard to a PE gig?
Thanks.





Go with the BB: -Structured
Go with the BB:
-Structured training
-More deals
-Exposure to many sectors
-Client work (presentations, etc)
-Much better for PE
-Better pay
Only reason I would see to go with the pharmaco would be to not want to put in the hours.
Even if long term you want to be in pharma, BB M&A is probably better-
