EB VS MBB help me decide which one to take

Have offers at an EB (Q,Evr,PJT,CV) and Offer at a MBB. Wondering which one I should take. I really am interested in creating my own tech firm or start up and also being able to become my own boss ASAP. I really don't want to work for anyone else so not interested in MFPE or HF as much so really want to see which one would set me up better for running my own tech business 

 

since you're not interested in traditional exits would suggest not taking PJT or EVR. If its Q, then take it for sure -- no better place to learn about tech companies (quite literally). So, in the end I'd say take MBB unless your offer is Q

MBB 100% - do a quick linkedin search for founders from MBB vs founders from literally any boutique bank lol. The latter are mainly in PE, some in VC, but very few founder types. MBB will give you more time in your day and more generally known pedigree to launch a founder career (i.e., more people have heard of Bain vs. PJT)

Only exception if you're moderately interested in VC as a segway to being a founder would be Qatalyst - i think they're uniquely positioned to give you a sick VC exit and therefore an even stronger network in the startup world.
