These types of decisions are frankly quite straightforward - take BX if you have a preference for (or perhaps if you're indifferent about) a career in RE over traditional corporate buyout - there is no better platform.

Otherwise take the UMM -- those are all sterling shops.

 

Quite frankly, the experience I had with folks at BX REPE was not great. The culture is long, long hours, the people are sharks and out to stab each other's backs, and real estate is about as boring as an asset class as there is. Although I'm not sure what else you would expect at BX. When people say you sell your soul to work here, don't underestimate it.

Feel free to post questions here.

 

You'll be hard-pressed to find someone that is happy there...unhappy and overworked is their entire mantra.

Credit to the other poster, I'm not sure how much better it will be at the UMM. But if you're having second thoughts about optionality would maybe choose the UMM for that reason.

 

UG here, would you mind elaborating how you were able to secure corporate PE offers at UMM coming from RE?
