FT Partners (Off-cycle) or Oliver Wyman (Full-time)?
I've received offers for the roles above at FT Partners and Oliver Wyman. My goal is PE, and I have previous intern experience at a MM PE/GE fund. I have seen on LinkedIn and spoken to consultants at OW that exits into PE are possible, especially into firms such as Apax and in UMM/MM. At OW, I would do PIPE (PE) work.
However, I'm currently wondering if I should renege/leave OW early so that I can do an off-cycle at FT Partners. I've read that FTP doesn't have great exits directly into PE, and there isn't the job security of a full-time role given it's an off-cycle (though they say there is an opportunity to convert to an analyst after 6 months). I'm quite indifferent between the work in consulting and IBD. I have also recruited into MBB previously, and a move there in the near future may also be possible. However, I understand that IBD is a good/better way to break into PE than consulting, and there is a possibility to lateral to an IB firm with better exits (and one that doesn't get shit on so much on WSO).
Let me know what you all think I should do, would appreciate any insight/stories/lived experiences!
when did u get the ft partners offer?
Offers out last week
how long after the final interview did u get it tho?
Take OW. Put the VCDD in the bag mate!
OW no brainer. People are only voting FT because they go oo IB.
FT has terrible exits, mainly into subpar GE. Culture doesn't seem great from what I've heard, have been haemorrhaging analysts. Will get worked like a dog for no reason.
Agree. OW seems to be a solid place to gain experience. Pivot to a real bank after a while if u wanna do finance
At least in London, have heard there has been a culture reversal now that base pay is below street
culture reversal?
