There really isn’t an answer to this question. If all you care about is comp and prestige, I guess there isn’t a much better option than BX. The big brokerage shops are great if you want to be on institutional IS or DE team. There is also the MM which is a whole other world and can pay very well, it’s personally the place I find the most interesting. 
 

Tl;dr it depends.
