@15xEBITDA I'm just looking for insight as to what would be best in the future. If you have input into the above question I would appreciate it. You don't need to let me know what I already know. The other ones have moved onto further stages.

 

^Exactly, focus on practicing for interviews then come on here and ask for advice when you actually have the offers in hand. Most of the time after going through the interview process you will mentally be able to narrow down your options given the people you meet with and the terms of the offers.

Please watch this video and reconsider this post...

 

I agree, you need to get an offer first to determine which is best. That being said...I think HLHZ restructuring or BX M&A would be great.

I love these.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

For broadest further opportunities in finance, Blackstone M&A. For more of a niche career long-term, HLHZ Restructuring; many opportunities in restructuring and then in distressed on the buy-side.

Step 1: get an offer. Cannot stress it enough.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
