Help choosing between internship offers
Preface:
For the past few years, I was deadset on pursuing a career in investing. After doing my research, I found LO AM aligned best with my personal investment style so last summer, I interned at a 1T+ LO AM and found the work very different to how I imagined (rather glamorised) it. Following the advice, I received from a few people on this board - this application cycle I pursued internships in hedge funds, prop & quant trading and family offices.
I currently hold offers at a large hedge fund and a family office. Although the hedge fund role aligns better with my personal interests and skills, the family office role definitely appears better for my career (Prestige/Projects). I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. (None of my friends are interested in careers in finance and I don't have any family members or mentors that can help guide me with this decision)
Any help or advice would be much appreciated :).
How large are the HF and FO? What are their respective strategies and pedigrees of the GPs?
Hedge Fund 5-10B employ various strategies mainly event-driven. FO more broad strategies - my team come from elite PE/HFs or started their own HFs - pedigree is definitely higher but both are very good.
Would take the HF here. $5bn to $10bn is a very large fund, assuming it's a SM. You could always move to a FO later.
