MF REPE or Top EB M&A -- thoughts?
Current sophomore at a target (H/Y/W) and I just wanted to get some thoughts on the two offers I'm super lucky to have landed. One is M&A group at a top EB (evr/pjt/cvp) and the other is an established repe (think tpg/kkr/bain). I have come to find real estate a really interesting industry while prepping during recruiting since it covers pretty wide verticals, and tbh a repe job right out of undergrad is quite attractive. However, I do think m&a would offer greater exposure, training, and better optionality. I do want to get into corporate PE down the line, but I know it's an uphill battle for anyone, so wondering if picking a buyside now is the way to go. Also which one would open more doors outside finance, if I choose to explore other options after a few years?
Take the EB internship, it will open doors to pretty much everything. You can always come back to REPE later, as they love ex-bankers. As someone who started in REPE out of undergrad, your exit options outside real estate are nonexistent.
