MM IBD vs. Pension Fund PE

Looking for some opinions on this topic.
Particularly looking at exit ops and top MBA candidacy.

  1. MM IBD SA

- i.e. Stifel, Baird, Cowen, Raymond James, Macquarie

or

  1. Pension fund PE SA

- i.e. OMERS, OTPP, AIMCO, CPPIB

I'm from the U.S. if that makes a difference for exits or anything.

 

Thanks for your reply. Out of curiosity, are you bringing up CIs for personal preference considerations, or does working in a CI-focused fund make you less desirable for exits/MBA? Very interesting point to bring up; SB'd.

Both. I would find a CI-focused fund very boring. For exits, it would depend on the fund and the skill set you develop at that fund. If it's a CI who relies on other funds to source the transaction and do the bulk of the DD / valuation, you're not going to develop a great skill set. If it's more in line with a traditional PE fund, I imagine it would be fine for exits.
