IB vs PE out of undergrad

Hi. I’m a rising freshman at uchicago. What is the ratio of IB exits to PE exits out of undergrad? Is there an opportunity cost to recruiting harder for one industry over the other (ex. focusing on IB WSO courses, doing IB internships, etc)? Appreciate any insight. Thanks 

 

1) Brother, this is your last summer of freedom, please enjoy it first and foremost.

2) IB to PE ratio out of undergrad will be giant, even at a top feeder like UChicago. There’s probably around 60 MF buyside analyst roles across Blackstone, KKR, Bain, Vista, Silver Lake, Warburg combined, compared to an EB like Evercore having an incoming analyst class of around 60, to put things in perspective.

3) Yes, there’s an opportunity cost to everything. Obviously you’ll have to sacrifice something if you’re doing a part time internship whilst recruiting. But that’s a problem far from now, and something you’ll definitely be prepared for after actually being in college.
