Taking into account that my long term goal is to move to PE (or even HF), would it be better to start in an investment role, even if it is RE, or to do the traditional IB path? Both would be at well regarded BBs.
Thanks

Be warned: REPE gets you very deep in the RE trenches...
Make of that what you want. It definitely isn't sexy below maybe the top 1% of funds.
IB --> PE is a well established path
Thank you. So the transition from REPE to PE is difficult?
What about IB in a RE coverage group?
Does that greatly pigeon hole you as well?
Yes
Heard people are getting $1 bonuses. Not that significant is it ...
Please don't listen to this guy, he didn't even have the reading comprehension skills to actually answer your question. Go to IB.
Thanks! That's quite significant
your banner should probably say 'RE' rather than 'PE'
