All else equal, which should a take?
1. UBS investment banking in nyc (not sure about group)
2. Top endowment fund with several billion aum and operates very similarly to a f-o-f.
Taking into account lifestyle, exit opps, and prestige, which should i take? Thanks!

big question is what would you be doing at the endowment fund?
unless you're in canada endowment funds generally suck. you'll work less, never move up, and rarely get any real compensation. must be very political...i'd go ubs b/c those skills are much more transferable anywhere. endowment skills are more talent evaluators...not actual talent.
these are of course generalizations, unless i knew your specific group, i wouldn't be able to be exact.
