Are you that obsessed with prestige? It is basically the same shit. Unless you signed an offer with a strategy you are completely uninterested in (which if thats the case you shouldn't of taken the interview) continueing to interview will provide few benefits and a lot of risk (potentially cutting yourself off completely from many firms since it is a small industry). In 5 years no one is going to ask you why you only worked at Carlyle and not Apollo.

 

Think I know who this is based off the fact that we're a "lower tier" megafund and got a sketchy impression of one of the guys we gave an offer to. Looping in HR
