Take IB - don’t take a sales role, you will find it tough to break out of sales into a technical role.
That's what I was thinking indeed, thank you for your answer.
But don't you think the "brand name" at BlackRock can offset this fact ?
Perhaps a little bit, but as a junior it’s your skills that matter not the reputation of the place you were previously at. If you do indeed want to do PE, IB, or consulting long term, I would take IB/M&A at a tier 2 bank (e.g. Cantor, DC Advisory, CACIB) over a sales role at BlackRock
UBS is still a good name btw. We are hiring juniors for my fund right now and trust me we would rather take a candidate with shit hot modelling skills from a no name bank than a candidate from MS that can’t model for shit. Perhaps a different story at D/MD level. If you want to break into PE you need to pass modelling tests. You will be dealing with models all day in IB, you will never get that kind of exposure in sales.
When did the interviews for blackrock alts take place?
I think the interviews started in october, but they are still giving out interviews

I'd say blackrock alternatives, good culture and base in line with IB comp and bonus is around 10-15, and a pretty good gig
If you want to maximize your learning curve and optionality IB will give you that brand name + skillset
In addition to that, you can always move to a sales role given your IB background, but the other way round is not that easy
