Exit Opps: BB FIG vs. MM Botique / LDN

Hi everyone,

I just received two offers for an Analyst 2 spot: either in a BB (GS/JP/MS) FIG Cov. or in a MM Botique Industrials Cov. (Jefferies, HL, Blair, Baird) and I dont know how to evaluate these reg. future exit opps.

My mid-term career goal is a European (upper-)mid cap buyout fund (lets say EVs up to €1bn, I know the definitions of mid-vs. large-cap can be blurry).

Question is which ultimatley will bring me in the better position to interview with these funds.

What does headhunters / recruiters think about FIG in general?

I know FIG is an often discussed topic and I have done my research aswell, but maybe someone could shed some light on this based on personal exp. from either him/herself or friends and family.
