Goldman v. Blackstone v. BlackRock

First time post. A WS veteran asked me, "if you could be the CEO of either Blackstone, Goldman, or BlackRock, which would you want to be (differences in bonuses aside)"? I guess he was interested in knowing in what direction I think these different industries (IB, PE, and AM) are heading in the future. Curious to know other people's perspectives on this question, especially from those who are already working in the financial services industry and have an understanding of industry trends.
