Just wondering what the pros and cons are of joining a growing PE Analyst that's rapidly growing. I feel like getting the early start can/should help down the line in terms of politics and getting the investor mindset of the seniors of the firm. On the other hand, it seems quite clear that BB/EB IB better prepares you training-wise. What are your thoughts on joining a buy-side shop that's rapidly growing and your interest in the strategy vs. doing 2 years of BB/EB IB?
