Help me choose the division I apply to

Dear all,

I have managed to secure an AC with a top UK asset manager (think L&G, Aviva) through an unconventional method during my first year of university. I will be choosing the division I apply to after the assessment centre but I am confused about what to pick.

In the long run, I want to do investment banking and go into private equity or break into private equity straight if I am lucky. What divisions should I be considering?

Thanks in advance!

In Europe, I’d say Premier League / La Liga are a notch above the rest. Other than that, Bundesliga and Eredivise are your go to. Second division of Ligue 1 and Liga NEO (Portugal) are also good starting points.
