BB IBD for sure. I think in terms of exits, BB IBD definietly gives you better skills/exit opps, while PCA is almost impossible to exit to MFPE (and skills is very different).
Hey, could you explain why PCA is impossible to exit to MFPE and is PCA possible in terms of lateraling to Top BB/EB M&A groups?
Mainly due to the non-traditional nature of the role/work itself, meaning its more relationship-based and "sales" (not to the extent of Sales in Sales and Trading), but that means little modelling/company-specific due diligence involved.
Personally know three guys in the space, one in EVR PCA - working tough banking hours given their great deal flows (EVR PCA is a top 3 in the space, "2025 Q1 had transaction totaling over $19B LP exposure globally"), and I suppose great comp, too
Exits will be mostly FoFs or PE BUT within seconadries/GP-leds (Ardian, AlpInvest, Lexington I suppose)
helpful thanks
Made this decision a while back and went with the EB PCA group. If you're interested in secondaries, it's one of the best seats you can get out of college in a fast-growing space, especially on the GP-Led front. Would recommend BB IBD if this were a higher BB or if your goal is to exit into PE/HF.
