Do you want to live in NYC or Chicago? Comp will generally be +/-5-10% so shouldnt be a dealbreaker at the analyst level.

What type of industries are you into? I would say if ur interested in TMT or industrials or HC go to WB if you like consumer/retail/pui then PJS.

Exits are similar, typically to MM PE funds, hard for either to get into a MF.

This is spot-on.
