MM IBD vs MBB vs $200MM hedge fund

Everyone,

I am looking for thoughts/opinions/advice on this - I am having a hard time deciding for myself...

I have offers from an upper MM investment bank in a West Coast office, MBB in London and a West Coast $200 million AUM hedge fund with a highly reputable PM. They are a 5-person team with two more people coming on in the spring. I would be the only analyst on the team. Salary sucks relative to the other offers, but they will give me equity (prob not much tho).

Personally, I think MBB is the safe option, but there is something about that upside potential and freedom in a hedge fund environment that I find very attractive. MM IBD is probably out of the picture at this point in time. Long-term plan is to work for one of the larger, well-renowned HFs.

Senior at West Coast school, top of my class, majoring in Econ, solid internship experiences if it's relevant.

Thanks!
