Private Investing at a BB vs. Traditional IB → PE
I interned at a small tech boutique investment bank freshman year, and I'm currently at a $4B+ AUM middle-market PE fund for sophomore summer.
For junior summer, I accepted a role at a bulge bracket (JPM/MS/GS) in a private investments group. The team works across private funds, co-investments, and direct investments, but it's obviously not the traditional IB route (more of an allocator role).
I'm wondering how these roles are viewed for long-term buyside exits. Could this still lead to top investing opportunities, or would I be better off recruiting for IB and following the more standard IB to PE path? Does having the MM PE experience help offset not having a traditional IB background?
I'm genuinely not sure which path has the higher ceiling, so I'd appreciate any thoughts- thank you!
