Stephens IBD or Prudential Capital Group
I was recently offered full time positions with Stephens IBD as well as Prudential Capital Group. Any thoughts on which would be better to take. Work-life balance, pay, experience, exit ops, office culture etc...
PCG is good for culture/hours and they pay pretty well (i thinks its around 90-95k all in). Hours are 50-60 hours a week with occasional late nights when closing a deal. Making a move to a pure PE shop might be hard but not impossible. I've seen people make the jump to mezz fund, lev fin banking at BB, FIG at MM, credit HF, and PE fund at an insurance firm.
It will probably be hard to get into a PE/HF shop from Stephens as well. Expect normal banking hours (and pay) at Stephens. Good southern culture if you are in the south.
it really depends on your interests. If you want to do something like corp dev i would take Stephens.
I personally would take PCG if your open to less traditional routes. You can always do can MBA if you want to get back in the PE/banking path.
damn i give good advice. give me a SB.
