Need Help: A&M or DB?

Have prior experience in MM PC, and semi-target undergrad. Have offers from A&M NACR, but in their Case Management Services team, and DB IND. Goal is obviously to move into PE, what would position me better?

Worried bc I heard that DB ind isn’t the best group to be in

Gonna give it to you straight: take the DB offer. Yes, it’s not a great IB team relatively speaking, but still.

A&M has arguably the most iconic/storied restructuring group in the world (NACR), but CMS is a support & admin team. Have known a couple of people that’ve mistaken it for core restructuring. DB on the other hand is actual IB
