Worth Reneging on FT EB/BB IB offer for Ares Analyst?

Given the risk you run with reneging to begin with, is it worth doing so to jump to a shop like Ares, or would it have to be a BX / APO type of offer to make it worth it? Just wondering if I should even bother submitting my resume. Definitely wanna go buyside eventually.

Friends in the Ares analyst program were miserable. Get absolutely grinded and pushed out the door. If you already interned at the previous firm, you already know what you’re getting yourself into.
