Please Advise: Specialty Finance vs. Broader Industry Coverage
For context, I have just received two job offers from MM boutiques and a few months ago I was unemployed on the networking grind. So I take all of this with a grain of salt.
That being said, I am struggling with making a decision as to which offer to take. Both firms have awesome cultures and teams, albeit are different.
Firm A is a little more dated, has fewer young employees, broader industry coverage and base pay is higher with lower bonus target.
Firm B is younger on the whole, has more name brand employee backgrounds/previous work experiences, focuses on specialty finance and base pay is lower with higher bonus target.
Comp at Firm B has the chance to exceed that of firm A but is not guaranteed. As an entry level employee that’s a concern of mine. However, my biggest concern is the focus in Specialty Finance and whether that might affect my exit ops/future. Need input fairly quickly so all responses are greatly appreciated.
