SA Offer Advice: Growth Equity/CVC vs Boutique Advisory
Hey, currently deciding between these two. Would appreciate it if anyone has advice on which to go for. The CVC is of an F500 company, with a quite hefty AUM tbf (if that matters), and seems to focus on growth equity stage deals (Series B+, some Series A). The boutique's an advisory firm but it also does investments, focusing on PE/special situations (also does VC sometimes). Both are reputable in their respective fields, but, if it matters, the boutique is much more discreet in branding (no proper Linkedin page, family office like, smaller team, etc). Job scope should similar I suppose, just different fields.
Background: EU based. Studying in UK semi-target (Warwick/KCL/Imperial/Durham). Prior SA at an early-stage fund. Will have another SA gig at a growth PE firm after this current SA (both scheduled to be 2 months duration). Trying to keep my options as wide as possible (IB/consulting/PE/VC) after graduation, especially with the recent situation going on. Might even go for a MiM/MSF if things go astray with FT (bonus: how would the choices look to adcoms?). Thanks a lot for any inputs!

I'd choose the place where you feel like you'll get good mentorship and lots of responsibility early on, since those two things will determine how much you grow and learn from the experience. The problem with certain venture roles is that they're primarily sourcing-based, which has its advantages but often means that you don't end up learning a ton about what makes a business attractive and the kinds of problems (and solutions) that early-stage companies have. Having said that, if the CVC experience is substantive, might be pretty cool
