MM IB vs Credit investing shop for MM L/S equity

Hi guys, I have offers from both an MM IB Shop (HL, Baird, etc.) and a credit investing multistrategy shop (Oaktree, DK, Oak Hill, GoldenTree). My goal is ultimately to in the future work in L/S Equity at one of the big multi managers or if I enjoy credit investing enough to do credit investing at one of the MMs. Does anybody have any advice on deciding what offer to take and what would be most helpful for my future?

Agreed, idk how these people are even getting offers for places like this and don’t know the answer to these questions. Like how do you get a seat at DK and think that a Baird IB seat is better????????

 

Well it depends, are you talking about internships or full time position? The credit shops do not offer full time. That would be something to take into account as well
