I was lucky enough to have received offers from two sf BB for SA '21.
One of them is lower "ranked" but does modeling in-house & focused on m&a; the other is a bit more "prestigious" but is a coverage group that does lots of debt/equity and does *not* do modeling in-house (works with product groups).
If my goal is to do PE post-banking, which offer should I take?

What banks idiot?
Impossible to say without knowing which banks lol
UBS/Barclays vs JPM?
incoming analyst at one of these three - would appreciate thoughts on how they compare with each other in terms of pe exit
JPM tech M&A exits better than JPM coverage since they actually get significant modeling experience. Not into the "ranking" banks bullshit but UBS/Barc would probably be viewed in the lower tier of BB tech groups by the buy-side. But still, any BB tech group will open up plenty of buy-side doors even if not GS TMT or MS Menlo. You're so fine soldier. Exits are way more a function of you than they are your group... just so happens that top groups have top talent and thus they exit well, correlation not necessarily causation
Just as an aside. Are offers out for JP Sf non diversity?
