Help me decide which offer to take

Currently debating between offers, looking for advice on what each job entails, next job it may lead to, and overall which would be the best to start my career?

F500 O&G analyst development program - 4 rotations over 2 years Grant Thornton Valuation Associate EY Structured Finance Analyst

Please any help would be greatly appreciated! Been ripping my hair out over this and need to decide soon, plus I want to put it behind me and truly enjoy my last couple months of college. Thanks!

Not going to help too much because I know they're different career paths, but PE and AM both sound very interesting to me. Long term I hope to own my own business(or fund).

 

Actually turned down the f500 program, location was in a very small town. That's also what I've heard of possible exit opps from val, all seem like enticing options

 

what type of valuation does the group at GT perform?

If they are heavy financial reporting, I would go EY.

Some valuation shops get heavy exposure to PE groups performing mark-to-market analysis on their portfolio for the LPs.
