Hey guys,
Trying to decide between FT opportunities...
Currently have a generalist sell-side M&A offer at a reputable boutique (that has completed billion dollar deals in telecom the last few years)
Also have a potential opportunity with BAML Leveraged Finance.
Looking to enter PE or Corporate Development in the future and also looking to go to business school

Go w/ Perella.
wait he didn't say anything about perella
anyone confused why he has a 'sell-side' m&a offer? does perella not do buy-side m&a advisory work?
also who the hell is still deciding on FT in february?
^it's 100% Perella, not Gugg
I've never understood why people on this board go out of their way to out kids who are trying to retain anonymity while seeking tailored advice.
Good job you guessed some kid's bank potentially causing embarrassment or harm. Congratulations on being an asshole.
also gives him the most "accurate" advice - maybe u should be the generic guy who says BB LevFin over anything; wow, couldn't have thought of that myself.
If he wanted that don't you think he would just state the name of the firm?
Just admit you wanted to be an asshole because it was fun. Don't pretend you were trying to provide more accurate advice.
This thread isn't the worst example...people pull this shit in much more sensitive situations (like guys thinking about jumping ship, etc.). I just never understood it.
BAML lev fin is pretty much flipping a coin. heads your life can be reasonable, tails you need to buy lube. there's definitely less annoying/bs work than pretty much any other group in the bank. difficult place to learn office politics tho.
thanks for the reply guys.
my boutique offer is from neither perella and Guggenheim, but a really small boutique that has really only been establishing their name in the past 3 years.
