Alright, so I networked hard and managed to land a few last minute SA offers. Would any guys currently in finance be willing to give me some advice on which would best fit me?
So I'm sitting on:
MM PE: great senior guys but boutique firm, near zero chance for job offer
MM IBD: great senior guys but ~20 people, chance for job offer
Start-up VC/PE: fresh guys (VPs who decided to jump to their own firm), chance for job offer
VC: very established firm, niche sector i'm not as excited about, smaller chance for job offer
So where I want to end up in the long run is MM PE, Growth Equity, and possibly VC. However, immediately out of college I think training at an e-boutique or bb is probably good for finance training. Also, management consulting is still a potential option.
So which offers would set me up best for: MM PE, GE, VC, IB, MC? I have past boutique banking experience already if it matters.
Thanks a bunch for the advice. You've been a world of help so far.
Best,

Personally, I would go with the IBD pursuit. But it depends on what you want to do after you graduate mainly, so try to get experience in that type of institution. That being said, I think IB is the best route out of college.
I agree with the above. IBD will give you the versatility you need to grab better opportunities in the future.
I would probably agree with the posters above. Go with the IBD, if not the established VC firm. Even though you aren't attracted to the sector of the VC firm, the brand name recognition will help with full time recruiting and the best way to get into VC is through VC (or entrepreneurship). If you are more interested in PE than VC long term, sticking with the IBD is probably best and provides the most versatility.
if its junior summer, definitely the IBD shop, if you're a sophomore then I would consider going PE just for the experience and try to move to IBD next summer
