II dont think you'd be crazy to turn down Goldman for the right PE offer. Most importantly, unless you have something unique lined up, you don't know what group you would be in if you accepted an offer from Goldman, and that matters both for post-banking recruiting as well as your analyst experience. Doing banking out of undergrad would give you a wider set of opportunities, but that's not as valuable if you are sure you want to do PE long-term.
To me, if I felt very comfortable with the people at the PE firm and the location, and there is a history of a strong analyst program [I'd be hesitant about a PE firm just starting to hire out of undergrad] and promoting analysts, I could see myself there long term, and PE was for sure what I wanted to do long-term, I'd do it over an uncertain BB offer.
i work at goldman, so i'm quite biased, but i think you should pick PE. however, that "somewhat well-known" statement concerns me...
at the end of the day reputation can get you places faster, trust me on this
Take GS, go to TMT or FIG, get megafund offer either out of undergrad or worst case after your two years as an analyst. The training, network, and camaraderie you get in banking will benefit you more than you think.
you make it sound like getting GS TMT is a walk in the park...

there's a thread about KKR vs GS somewhere on here for straight out of undergrad, find it.
If you're still waiting to hear back from the "somewhat well-known" PE firm, you probably don't have enough support there to take the career risk of turning down GS.
lol doenst anyone doubt that this guy actually has dem offers
