I would say the perception of the deals you work on at the BB in a good group would be better, but honestly working at a top MM PE firms where you get solid investing experience along with valuable operations experience could be very attractive
My opinion would be the PE route. I graduated from a MBA business schools">M7 MBA program and, for whatever reason, it seemed rare for any of my classmates to only have worked in IB. However, a lot of my classmates worked in IB and then MM or LMM PE. The diversity in experience helped them both in the coursework and recruiting.
Thanks! Do you think that might be impacted because you typically don't need an MBA to move up the ranks in banking?
Maybe, but not necessarily. I assume if you leave banking as an Associate to go to business school, you would switch careers.
What are you trying to accomplish by getting an MBA? Especially if you are an Associate at a BB?
Career switch
Career switch into what? It may be possible from your bank
I would recommend PE given the limited info. Primarily because associate level at a BB is what you exit to after your MBA. You run the risk of taking a step down (no matter what your pay will most likely be lower by going the MBA route but I assume you know this)
