MBB or DFI for PE in Asia?
I went to a US target but missed out on HF PE recruiting. Currently spending my first year out of school at an impact fund in Asia (think DFI like IFC, ADB) as a contractor/consultant — can be converted to FT analyst next year. Recently got an offer from MBB to join at the pre-MBA level (also in the same Asian country where I come from).
Which would better position me for PE in the future? The DFI role is 70% BD/sourcing and 30% deal execution, but there's a lot of bureaucracy (internal reporting, due diligence, etc). Whereas the MBB role has (much) faster career progression (and possibly better brand name/exit ops diversity?), but not sure if the experience would be relevant for PE (including in Ops and BD/IR) in Asia and elsewhere?
not sure which part of Asia you are in but as far as Singapore & Hong Kong is concerned, I rarely ever see ex-MBB exiting to PE shops (even if you are coming from their PEG practice), ratio is probabaly like 90% (BB IB / PE lateral) to 10% (MBB)
