Would you choose BB IB or Secondary investment at Bx/Carlyle? Curious about exit opps. Understand that the hard skills learned in IB would likely be stronger, but is there any benefit of going to Secondaries at Bx/Carlyle straight out of undergrad if MF PE is goal long term?

I've spent a fair amount of time on LinkedIn looking at the backgrounds of MF associates, haven't seen anyone who's moved internally. That's not to say they don't exist.
If it's a non-financing group at a middle/top BB I'd take that
Cool- any insight into comp for Secondaries?
If it's a role straight out of undergrad I'd assume anywhere from in-line with BB IBD comp to a ~15% cut, but that's pure guesswork
It's basically down to BB IB or MBB if MF is your goal. Is the BB a top tier BB (GS, MS, JPM) or a top tier group (Barclays P&U)? If not I'd probably go with MBB then.
Would also be curious to see how EBs stack up against this playing field. I would assume EB > MBB for those targeting PE megafunds, but how does EB vs. BB play out in this case?
