Blackstone summer vs young fund full time

As title suggests fortunate enough to hold blackstone summer analyst offer and a full time offer from a smaller fund (around 2.5bn aum)

Leaning towards full time but just nervous about missing out on the blackstone brand. Would be interested to hear your thoughts

Well one is PE investing I assume and not sure about the other fund. Maybe you could provide more info on what type of investing you are doing at the other fund?

I have heard BX do convert a lot of their SA's. which works in your favour. So it appears to be a question of what type of investing you'd prefer and what sort of culture you want in a workplace

 

Both roles are for PE investing. I’m just worried about missing out on the blackstone brand which could harm future exit opps surely?

 

I will try that but I think the younger fund sounds really exciting especially as I will be the first analyst they have ever taken.

Surely there is also more upside being part of a younger firm?
