bout the same I'd say
Depends on group, if you land a top group at GS/MS, then I'd say it's better than BX M&A, else about the same...
I know two people who turned down MS for BX advisory full time (one in restructuring, one M&A), and they're both at top megafunds (Carlyle, tpg, kkr, etc.) right now, so I'd say prestige/PE exit opps are competitive with GS TMT/MS M&A. Plus, you get to be one of only 6 or so analysts vs dozens coming out of a BB
The hours are long but I hear they pay above street...
They do pay above street, on purpose. Great exit ops.
Why are there 10 new posts a day comparing banks and groups??? Why not just start a website that has 1 million what ifs so kids can all follow the exact same path.
^SB to you. We really need either a subforum for this or just cut it out...
You can't just say "SB for you" without actually giving the SB =P.
AstonMartin's provided a great link to a recent M&I article. To summarize the article: "The only 3 variables that you can accurately assess upfront are brand name/prestige, people, and geography."
Congrats on your offers. With those options, it sounds like you can't make a bad decision.
Haha ya +8 SB's to you mbp.
