depends what you're looking for. all place well, GS TMT of course with a tech focus but definitely not limiting in terms of industry post analyst stint (MS pretty much the same, depending on your group of course, unless god forbid you're stuck in global capital markets). Not so sure about Sankaty, but given that the firm deals with credit, I'm assuming exits will be to credit funds
Sankaty is a great experience and def. well known within finance and debt/credit investing. Its exit ops within debt and to MBA are great, but unsure what sort of PE opportunities there are.
For PE, GS TMT by a mile, and maybe even MS over Sankaty. It's a credit fund, which doesn't really lend itself well to PE type transactional work.
Gunshot couldn't be more wrong. Sankaty focuses on Mezz financing which are critical in leveraged buyouts when sponsors look for that extra turn of leverage to get them to their desired IRR. I personally would take Goldman TMT.
I dunno if I would say Sankaty "focuses" on mezz-they have CLO/senior secured management, opportunity funds, distressed, etc as well as mezz. Some of those lend themselves more clearly than others to working in PE. I do agree with your overall point though that unless you have a specific aversion to working in debt it's a great (the best?) option.
GS TMT has got the best placements from what I heard
GS TMT over any group at MS, absolutely. Like others have said, Sankaty is more credit focused. I assume it's a good experience and it's definitely a good name within finance community, but if you want to do PE you'll be more actively recruited at GS TMT.
sankaty over gs or ms. you work only 60-80 hours a week and get paid just as much if not more than banking. and it is really interesting work
I was hoping to revive this thread a little since it has been dead for quite some time. Does anyone have any perspective on Sankaty (as well as other hedge funds that offer undergrad opportunities) and how they effect a student coming out of school. Are options more limited from a place like Sankaty than they would be from GS or MS?
I am assuming Sankaty or a comparable would be better if you wanted to be in the HF space for a career, is this correct?
