EB with niche coverage group vs MM Generalist
I'd love to hear some other monkey's opinions. I've been extremely fortunate to have found myself in the situation with two offers. The first offer is from an EB with a very niche coverage group, one I may not see myself pursuing after two years. The second offer is with a MM Boutique with a fantastic culture.
The comp is the same for both places and the work/life balance is a bit tougher for the EB. Additionally, the location of the MM is slightly better.
What would you guys do in my position? Would you take the prestige and stronger exit opportunities of the EB, but be pigeonholed in an industry you are not interested in long-term? Any help/advice is much appreciated.
Let me guess, O&G EB in Houston? I would take the MM.
Haha, I don't want to go into specifics, but both of those are not it. Both cities are actually "tier 1/2" as was said in a previous thread. The location isn't as much of a concern, as is the specific niche focus.
I would avoid usually FIG/Natres/RE but other than that I can't think of any really niche groups. Even chemicals, healthcare etc won't pidgeonhole you.
Super helpful to hear. Assuming the niche focus isn't as big of a problem then, how big of a factor do you think culture should play in the decision. If I really like the MM guys and am neutral with EB, do you think that should play a big factor or the prestige/exit ops makes up for the subpar culture? Thanks!
Figure out where the analysts exited to. Culture should definitely play a big factor unless you are set on MF or top UMM PE, in which case the EB probably makes things easier.
What do you think about P&U?
Fine from Barclays or MS.
Not OP but im in this exact position. Have an offer from EB in Houston (EVR/MOE) and an offer from RBC/BMO M&A IB role in Toronto. Any thoughts on this? Not opposed to O&G at all but not sure about the long-term prospects of the industry. Live in Canada if that helps.
