KKR vs Goldman out of Undergrad
coming out of undergrad, would you be losing anything by going to a top MF analyst program instead of a BB first, if given the opportunity?

I think the best course of action is for you to shut the fuck up, because nobody cares for your opinions.
It was a question, not an opinion... who hurt u?
WhO hUrT yOu??
I think you misunderstood.
I'm Crab Chiggins. If I say it was an opinion, it was a fucking opinion. Alright, buddy? Great, thanks.
Dude it really depends on the group and division at each firm
I mean if we’re talking KKR traditional LBO (no infra/niche industry) vs GS (any group) it would probably be 9/10 KKR not much for debate imo.
Yeah. Most of the analysts at KKR arent in that though
You go to GS for the exit opps (PE, VC, HF). At KKR, you secure a spot in one of those exit opps and arguably get skills (buy-side related) that helps you stand out if you somehow want to switch to VC, HF afterwards (you can also go to other industries like consulting or industry if that is what you want because MF analysts are much more rare). In other words, at KKR you pretty much get all the perks of GS, with respect with exits, with some more (secured MF opportunity, which can get pretty dicey with FT buyside recruiting these days).
