Hey Everyone,
Wanted to see what your guys thoughts were on working on the Investing side of a F500 co, but in a more telecom/media oriented company. Like working for Comcast as an analyst where you source, structure, execute deals that aid Comcast's business and in turn provide returns- more like PE/VC I suppose. Input/opinions?
Thanks!

Differences:
PE/VC - Financial investors, purely opportunities, and mostly driven by cash impact S&P 500 Co's - (generally) strategic investors, will seek investments for a long term integration and growth. Additional factors that affect investments, i.e., earnings, credit ratings, strategic fit etc.
Expect the same or similar level of diligence in terms of undertaking the investments, days/months of what if, scenarios and sometimes useless debt, project finance & earnings modeling
But, if this is what you want go for it.
I think it's great if you're not 100% sure what you want to do. I had an interview for a rotational analyst program at one of the biggest tech companies out there. They have a private equity / principal investments team that invests across all asset classes - real estate, derivatives, fixed income, equities, hedge funds, etc. Friends that work there tell me it's great. If you can get in with this type of group at a large company, I'd say definitely take it unless you've got a strong BB IBD offer or similar. You'll learn tons.
Thanks.
