pe fund in hong kong or boutique ibank in us?
This summer I have the option of continuing working at a boutique in the US where I know there will be good deal flow and I will be given a lot of responsibility, or possibly working at some pe firms or morgan stanley in hong kong, through some connections. Assuming that I am shooting for IBD in junior summer, which one would be more helpful? Has anyone worked in hong kong before, and talk about what it's like? I have heard that they don't really give interns a lot of responsibility, is that true? and how does it look to future employers? thanks.
continue in US at your boutique.
Stick with the US
um, why?
also what if I do both, like spend one month in hk and then come back to us?
and what if it's like morgan stanley in hong kong, doesn't the brand name help, especially if I just do part of the summer?
doing what in MS?
I'm trying to get investment banking in ms.
MS IB in HK sucks some big dick. Do same work, but less people on teams so more hours. Same pay = fuck Asia.
I was the only white kid amongst a sea of Asian kids during my sophomore summer. Got the offer for Jr year, but got the fuck out.
Going to Asia will pigeonhole you like I pigeonhole the back office. Consensus is - you went to Asia because you couldn't find something comparable in NYC.
Stay the fuck in the boutique, and you'll get interviews jr year. Also, this boutique better not be some 50 person fuck shack that gets horse shit for deal flow. If so, try elsewhere.
im not sure how much MS in hk sucks, but i think its still MS IB nonetheless.
I think for the current climate, some asia exposure might actualyl be good and differentiate you from the rest of the pool. But who knows.
I'm not really sure if it will pigeonhole you, I personally do not think so, simply because HK is still one of the top financial centers, NYC certainly isnt as good as what it once was...
just my 2 cents..
so what do you people say about working part of the summer in Asia and doing the boutique as well?
