BB IB Chicago vs Nomura Greentech NYC vs MM PE NYC
Currently weighing options for SA 2024. The MM PE firm has ~$2B AUM and offers a FT Analyst program, but I am hesitant to start out on the buyside without name recognition.
Would seriously appreciate any insight regarding career growth, exits (PE and potentially industry/startups), and culture. Is starting out in Chicago a bad idea even if it's a BB? Also, aside from WSO posts, how is Nomura Greentech generally regarded when it comes to PE/industry exits? Many thanks!!
It depends on which BB in Chicago. Nomura Greentech often goes straight to Infra pe typically MM, but I have seen UMM.
It's BofA Chicago. Greentech seems interesting, but in this case, wouldn't it make sense to go straight to MM PE out of undergrad? That said, I realize that starting at a smaller buyside shop is "riskier" and it's hard to turn down the BB name. Thanks a ton btw
Would go NGT, answer wouldve probably been different a few years ago but both PE and IB lateral placements have been solid/continuous over the last 3 years (renewables/infra/sustainability-specific though). You will want the IB experience (MM PE is on the bottom of my list here) and if you want to be in NYC long-term, would go now w higher connectivity to HHs. Noting that it is a brutal experience though
BofA Chicago has higher average optionality but personally am not sold on T2 city if it's MF-or-bust for you w/ how incredibly early/disorganized on-cycle is nowadays. Just depends what you're looking for
BofA Chicago by far lol. UMM exits in NYC and has a few MDP placements last few years. Easier to lateral from a bofa Chicago to an Evercore than Nomura 💀
Everyone I know from BofA Chicago is sharp. You will learn what you need to know there. Those guys get it.
