Opinion - Nearly impossible to get into BB
So I have come to the conclusion that it will be nearly impossible for me to get in the BB and am weighing two other options that I would like some opinions on. One is to work at a regional boutique investment bank and the other is to work in the Private Equity/Mezz. Debt division of a large insurance company.
At first glance it may seem like the PE group would be better but there is a catch. They invest nearly $1 billion per year but always as secondary investors. The deals are some of the largest in the country and they partner with the best PE firms around. They never take the lead on any opportunity though. I really like the company and am leaning this way over the banking job but I thought there may be some opinions on the subject. Thanks.
Go for the boutique, you will be able to develop better modeling skills and then move on to a better P/E job after two years.
The boutique will open more doors in the future, as the fund is only part of a larger firm that isn't specialized in the buy-side.
