If Qatalyst and want tech exits (VC, operator, etc) the exits are second to none. GS/MS may be more recognizable broadly across other industries.
MS Menlo Tech and GS TMT give you the same level of VC exits as Q and much better brand awareness across other industries
.
If you might want to make an industry jump out of tech, go with GS/MS.
Otherwise exits are the same b/w GSTMT/MS Menlo and Qatalyst. Every MF tech PE and top GE/VC will interview you from either.
Also, there seems to be common misconception on this site that Qatalyst doesn’t have good buyout exits. I know from a close contact that pretty much no analysts there choose to pursue buyout each year, but the ones that do have consistently placed at top MFs for tech (SLP, WP, one turned down an offer at TB, etc).
It doesn’t seem like you’re at Q since I know for a fact their internship isn’t over yet, and if you’re unsure if you want to be in tech it’s unlikely that you made it through their interview process. But to anyone else debating between Q and a top BB for tech, hopefully this sheds some light on some of the relevant factors. Either way you can’t go wrong, just depends if you’re sure you want to pursue tech.
.
I've lived in SF and NYC, difference in COL is minimal, I wouldn't consider that a material factor. GS/MS from a profile/exits perspective give you the broadest set of opportunities (across functions and verticals). More folks outside of banking know about GS/MS than Qatalyst. Qatalyst prolly a bit better experience/exposure since its an EB, but if you want the most options GS/MS- but what group you are in also can influence experience.
.
You're not at Q. Just ask whether you should take GS/MS over Centerview PA. It’s a bit different of a comparison
..
How did you network / get into that SD? I’m an incoming SA at an EB but am interested in moving to a top BB group for FT.
How come?
.
Qatalyst easy…you are clearing 200k minimum first year. At a BB you get dog shit.
What are the overall thoughts on centerview Partners tech compared to the other bbs and ebs (besides gs,q and ms)?
