100% UMM if the goal is PE
You can lateral after SA to a another shop or even internally to another group. Would not reneg.
wb moelis generalist/ PWP Generalist (rx programs). Is it worth rerecruiting from these places?
Moelis and PWP are not that distinguishable in terms of outcomes from Rx shops "above" them in WSO's estimation. The number of Rx analysts is so small that your personal profile i.e. school, GPA, GMAT/SAT become more salient to PE recruiting than prestige hair splitting.
GHL/Gugg/JEFF Rx are somewhat less easy for PE recruiting but the credit world is sufficiently large and Rx analyst program world small that people get looks from pretty much all Rx programs.
To OP's question, I have no clue about PFG on-cycle performance so they should just ask an analyst in the group they got an offer from. Comparing the two for re-recruiting for FT is also a black box to me. Having the EB name is good (but not because "it's an EB") and what you actually learn in your internship experience doesn't (or shouldn't, again I don't really have actual first-hand insight here) make you less valuable than your counterpart with an M&A internship.
I will say that Rx SA->FT tends to churn some because SAs from EVR/PJT/HL etc. tend to gun for PE analyst programs and that helps create opportunities for your Gugg Rx intern with their return offer in hand to get a top target group for on-cycle.
If you got a Moelis Rx or PWP Rx offer it would be worth to reneg.
I think you also want to consider what do you want to do? Those shops are phenominal, just not cranking out 10bn dollar RX plans every Tuesday.
Reneging isn’t too bad, I’ve seen folk do it. Though that connection is definitely gone
honestly I think I'd slightly prefer the PFG work but it's a fairly minor persuasion compared to my interest in PE long-term
so you think stick with the PFG and try lateral?
what do PFG even do? Do they literally just market a sponsor looking to raise money from LPs?
I think they also facilitate the sale of LP stakes in the secondary market eg. UCs wanting to exit the BREIT
I have heard some crazy horror stories about the consequences of reneging. Not sure how common these consequences are, but the names that you listed where you would reneg from are strong. I have a friend who interned in an EB doing private funds and he was able to land a PE spot for FT, so PE is definitely an attainable goal from your position.
very helpful, thank you! would you be able to share which shop he was at?
Can you please share what type of firm? UMM? MF? MM? Thank you!
Sorry would be too easy to identify who he is through linkedin, don't want to dox my friend on wso
