MM PE vs. MF PC Offer (Comp, Exit Ops)
Hi Guys,
I have a two offers for SA '23 one is in MM PE (Cove Hill, Arcline, Parthenon) and one is for MF PC (Ares, GSO, KKR) and was wondering if anyone could offer insights into how they compare in terms of comp, prestige, and potential exit ops. Interested in MF PE down the line and was wondering which one of these would be the better option to take. Thanks for the input!
If you want to do PE take the PE offer. seems pretty straightforward
Well done, incredible offers. Don't want to lead you on a particular path, but would just advise to speak to as many people from both firms and areas before your decision. Great opportunities either way

Was in a similar situation and am happy to chat if it would be helpful.
tl;dr: I would recommend MF PC.
As a general rule of thumb always better to start your career with brand name then go to a less known, high upside shop around VP level. Smaller funds generally cash pay less, more pay structured in deferred comp that you generally get senior associate or VP and above, provide less training and resources, and more likely to fold given lack of scale. I think MF PC pays more than many other smaller PE opportunities.
In my view, you go with the PE offer. The funds you mentioned are all incredibly high quality and if you are a strong performer you can likely move to a larger fund if you don’t like the first one, especially if sector coverage overlaps. I see a lot more cases of folks moving from MM PE to UMM or MF than I see MF PC moving to UMM or MF PE.
A caveat to the above is asking yourself where you could see yourself long term. At a certain point you have to think about what place you’re most likely to succeed while also enjoying the work
