if you had these offers, what would you pick?

  1. HLHZ FAS
  2. petsky prunier ibanking
  3. Long, Deep value Asset Management fund with about $5BN (and smaller hedge fund) in capital based in PA
  4. TimeWarner biz dev

--this is with a year of tmt banking experience; not saying i have/don't have these offers yet, i'm just saying which would you pick and why? ranking would be great; thanks so much!

 

I would definitely go with Houlihan FAS. It is arguably the most respected/prestigious group for HLHZ and they are a top MM. In my opinion, it would make for a great experience.

 

Depends on what you want to do. I would take:

  1. Admission to Harvard Law School.

But that's me and I'm in that tiny minority that thinks IB is overrated.

But I agree. If you have an Asset Management offer, you should take it.

OP asked a question. I answered said question. No reason to get your $50 underwear in a bunch.

Plus I don't give a damn what anybody on this board thinks about me.

I would put HLHZ FAS as the last choice. Deal flow should be decent, but no one wants to do fairness opinions all day.

If it were up to me, my choice would be Time Warner Business Development. I think they are pretty acquisitive, and will need some fresh blood to turn the tide against the demise of old media.
