I have the opportunity to work in a start-up (Business Dev/Sales) for a few months. How is work in a start-up regarded in IB/PE/HF on the long run? The culture is quite different, could it be a dead-end?

for what it’s worth I worked at a start-up(ish) in a role completely different from finance and it was a very fun, interesting internship that I derived quite a bit of value from. If you feel that the start-up is a strong one, consider taking it solely for the reason that it could be a really interesting experience!
