I would say that those are all great groups to start a career in REPE. However, I don't think it's realistic to make the jump from RE to traditional PE without pursuing an MBA. I think that a jump from REPE to Infrastructure PE could be a realistic jump to make because of the similar modeling.
These questions are silly. First off, how would this change what you do? Are you going to try harder? You have time to go after all of them, so I don’t see how what people tell you will change things.
Second, there isn’t a right answer. You are trying to plan for something you don’t even know if you are going to do (change into general PE). Be successful at the job first, and that means finding the right fit for YOU. That will open more doors than any brand name will (especially within that list). Focus on your fit to the company, the management and mentors you’ll have, etc.
You're not allowed to rank things in the RE forum.
You got offers from all of them? If you do, well done! If you don't, ranking them isn't very useful at this point.
If you want to take a random person's advice from a forum I would go MSREI and never look back.
Write the names of each of the companies on a piece of paper. Put each piece of paper into a separate condom, tie it off, and cut off the excess condom. Swallow each condom/paper combo, and wait for them to pass through your bowels (aka shit them out).
The last firm name to exit your rectum is the firm you want to go with. Best of luck
