Hi all,
I am supposed to make a pivotal decision soon on what I should pursue for a summer analyst position. For MM think of William Blair, HL, Piper Sandler tier in the West Coast. For the S&T opportunity think of MS, GS, JPM tier in NYC. Potentially looking to break into a hedge fund in the future and get an MBA soon as well, but also wouldn't mind being a career banker/trader. What would you guys recommend. Thanks in advance!

What type of hedge fund? What investing style are you looking to break into? Some would make sense for you to take IB, others S&T.
Long/Short equity, options, distressed debt, maybe even multi-strategy. Not really interested in global macro.
Long/short equity I would lean IB. Distressed debt you'd need either to be on the restructuring team in IB or on the distressed debt desk in S&T (you could be a desk analyst, trader, salesperson). Both are good so pick wherever you think it will be easier to get on a team that gives you distressed investing skills. Options isn't exactly a strategy unless you maybe mean some type of vol fund? For that you would do S&T of some sort. Not sure what you mean when you say options though. A multistrategy hedge fund isn't a strategy you can prepare for because it's basically just a fund with pods/groups that have different strategies (ie some pods may be L/S, others may be macro RV or systemic strategies or event driven etc all within the same fund).
