Aware that their direct lending/PC practise is very strong, but was wondering where they fit in at a PE level. Still considered a MF?
Also, would you take over a IBD BAML/Citi ft offer out of undergrad?

Also in the same situation but for summer internship. Wouldn't consider Ares a MF imo.
Personally leaning towards IBD.
Goodluck in IBD!
Ares is a reputable name and imo every buyside experience at a decent shop > every sellside job
Get the offer first bud
You will be even lucky to receive an Ares analyst offer. The fact that you're here comparing BAML & Citi IBD to Ares PE analyst offer means you have a lot to learn regarding buyside and sellside.
the best answer to a clod is silence. Enjoy your day!
bump
Ares and dont look back. Not even close.
Personally would take the banking offer if it is in a strong team. Gives you way more optionality down the line and you can probably land an offer at Ares coming from either of those two banks anyway.
