Have multiple offers, not sure what to take
I’m a junior at a non target school in the US (still has solid placements though) majoring in Finance and Economics. My school has a program where I can work for six months as a FT employee basically. I start that in January 2025 and have five offers. 3 at boutique IB (one in HC and two in Tech), 1 at a top Venture debt firm, and 1 at a top firm (think MS/GS) for Prime Brokerage Research. I have past experience with M&A consulting at a Big 4 firm and fixed income research on muni bonds at a relatively large investment mgmt firm.
Ultimately I want to exit into high finance (likely buy side). I enjoy HC so my top three choices would really be the HC firm (based in LA), the PB Research position (NYC), and the Venture debt position (as an investment analyst in Boston). A return offer is most likely in the last 2 firms mentioned. I want the big name on my resume from the PB firm, but the VD firm is also big.
I would appreciate any input on these positions and exit opportunities. Thank you
I feel like boutiques probably give best exit opps?
Venture debt is a tough place to live especially right now. VC so crowded unless it’s a brand name fund.
Don’t know a whole lot about prime brokerage research but would assume traditional IB is a better place to be if the goal is to get to buy side eventually.
Tech > healthcare in my opinion.
I would take boutique IB if you want PE exits. If you like healthcare, go that direction
