Growth equity vs private debt

Hi all,

If you had to choose between growth equity in a well known growth equity firm in Latin America (think General Atlantic/AKKR) vs an established but not well know private debt fund (10bn AuM) in London what would you choose?

In the one hand, I find growth equity way more interesting and I believe it’s a great opportunity to stay in the industry and maybe some day move to the US within the same fund. On the other, I really wanted to stay in Europe after my masters but I think the job might be a bit dull as there is no active decision making in credit investing.

Just as a bit of background, I’m originally from the country in Latam where the fund is based but I finished a MSc in Finance program in Europe and that’s why I got the opportunity to work in London. Pay at the PD fund is slightly higher than the growth fund but it’s more than compensated by cost of living.

Thanks!
