Based on previous WSO threads, here's a detailed breakdown of your options:
Nomura SF vs. Union Square SF vs. SocGen NY:
Recruiting for GE or Consulting:
Recommendation: - SocGen NY: Given your goal of re-recruiting for BB/EB FT and ultimately making it into UMM/MF PE, SocGen NY might offer the best combination of brand recognition, sector exposure, and networking opportunities. This can enhance your chances of landing a full-time role at a BB/EB, which is a more traditional path to PE.
Additional Considerations: - Networking: Regardless of the firm you choose, actively network with professionals in BB/EB and PE to increase your chances of re-recruiting. - Performance: Excel in your SA role to secure strong recommendations and potentially leverage internal mobility within the firm.
Good luck with your decision!
