Growth Analyst Offer vs Full Time Offer from Bank
Hi everyone!
I'm having trouble deciding between full time offers right now and could use the advice. I got a return offer from a top group in a MM bank that I interned with this summer, but also got an offer from a small growth equity firm in a T1 city. I like my MM group and it has good exits over the last couple years to MM and UMM funds. I also don't study finance in college so I learned a ton this summer and know there's good training at my bank. I like the culture of my group and the hours don't seem that bad from talking to the analysts there.
The growth equity firm I have an offer from is small (maybe LMM?) and all its funds are less than a billion. The people I interviewed with all seem nice though, and its in the same city as my bank. I also like the investments they do. They promote analysts to associate too from what I know. Comp though is a good amount lower than my bank offer, base, bonus, signing are all substantially less. I also worry about the training I would get since most of my job would be sourcing unless I land a deal.
I like growth and think I could make a career out of it but I also want to end up at a bigger fund and make sure my career isn't stunted by having a bad starting point and not being trained well. What would you do in my shoes? Let me know and thanks!
