Need help with SA Offers


Have two offers: one is to join a branded GE firm that is strictly sourcing at the analyst level. The other is still well known but smaller and offers a sourcing + execution experience. Curious if anyone had insights on how to think abt this. TIA!

Are you trying to do GE full time? If so, pick the brand named firm. If you're still looking for optionality, it might be better to get some execution experience. At the end of the day, focus on the one that allows you to learn faster. Whether it's doing different types of work or getting exposed to better deals/smart people.
