If you had a choice between these two offers right out of college:
Working for a $40million AUM hedge fund (3.5 years old) under 1 PM (very reputable and experienced guy--he knows what he's doing): Starting Salary: 65k - 90k (depends on bonus)
or Working at Deloitte Business Valuation Starting Salary: around 70k
Which would you pick? Which would give you better exit opps, career path, etc.???

What do you want to do with your career? I'd personally go with the hedge fund opportunity but it depends on your preferences and risk tolerance.
Hedge fund.
I also hate Deloitte (except S&O), so what do I know.
Say after two years, I decide that the HF life (in a long-only equity fund) isn't for me. Where would I go afterwards?
And why?
Do you think getting the CFA would be a good hedge against the "downside" in the HF opportunity? AND honestly, doesn't name-brand matter the most for your first finance job out of college???? The only name brand I would have would by my ivy league degree...
