Curious to see your guys' opinion on this. Obviously IB teaches you how businesses work at a high level and how to work your ass off, but I've also heard PE does the same but at a higher intellectual intensity. What about others (HF/VC/GE/ER etc. etc.) ?
What career will give you the most well rounded & sharpest skill set?
