So here's the situation i had. Just want to make sure people think i made the right decision. I had three analyst options after undergrad:
IB at Tier 1 bank at a top 2 group at the bank
Specialized Industry PE at MF, in a poor office location. modeling experience known to be pretty bad at analyst level. But considered top MF exit out of best IB groups

Easily option 1- it offers better and wider variety of ops than options 2 or 3 would amount to.
Gotcha thanks. Only concern is that the MF is considered a top exit out of IB. Let me know what you think.
Bruh who cares what it's "considered" by people on WSO. Is that an exit you actually want? If so, then that would be the best option. If not, then why even consider it. It's your career and you're the one who's gonna have to work there for the next few years, so pick what you want
Given you already made your decision, there’s no reason to fret about it. Any of these are good options and you can’t change it, so no need to search for validation
Based on those options you’ll be fine either way, don’t sweat it and good luck
Appreciate you guys
A few months ago you're applying for SA 23 positions, and now you had analyst offers?
Any of these will get you far
I would personally choose #1 because you don't seem to like number 2, and banking gives you optionality both now and years down the line. Don't choose a MF you don't like just because it's a top MF... you are the one who has to go to work every day
