Hey all,
So here are the offers that I have:
BB DCM-firm with lots of deal flow
BB Equity Research-firm with top ER as rated by Institutional Investor
BB Corp Fin-treasury/business strategy
Houlihan Lokey FAS
Prudential-Buyside Credit Research-high yield/grade
*Exxon Mobil-Treasury
So my career goal's to run/manage something someday either a line of business so corp fin or some type of fund ie hedge fund, mutual fund, pension etc. I am strongly leaning towards a BB ER position since I feel I would be developing the skillset that can allow me to either move onto the buyside or into a corp fin role as a financial analyst after 2-3 years should i decide to not want sell-side research. What do you all think?? Feel free to rank these. Then again EM is EM with lots of profits and if I can move up and run a line of business then that sounds interesting and should be lucrative. Perhaps I should shoot for ER covering the Energy sector so I can position for this move down the road?
Thanks!!!
For managing funds, ERs not a bad place to be. All have their advantages of course. For running a "line of business", finance isn't the career to start in...
What do you want to do? ER only helps if you wanna do VC. It's a lot about luck too, you have to be in a group that's hot during that time, i.e. healthcare-biotech, greentech. If you want to go into HF, etc. don't pick ER. You will know a few specific companies, and all your time will be spent writing and updating old models, so you won't have much experience with building models from scratch.
I would say go with HL, they do real valuation models, and it has a really good name, and also it's a conflict-free third party, this would align more with your hedge-fund/broader industry/business strategy interest.
But if you're sure you want to go into energy, EM is an accelerated career path for you.
EM for sure.
try to get into mm ibd for those goals, its not too late.
Dude MM has no reputation outside of MM
