The reason why I thought the SWF may be an option is that PE will hopefully be open to me later on given my FDD and Valuation experience in good places. I totally agree that PE is way way more interesting role. But since you're in a PE, wouldn't see that I've worked in FDD and valuation in a SWF (With world class training abroad in NY and London) will make me attractive to PE shops 2-3 years down the road?

 

It's comforting to see all of you advising on the PE offer over the valuation offer at the SWF, but it is the money what's making me ponder more about it, as it is not only the salary is 35% more, but the bonuses of SWF, surprisingly, is 100% more. The PE shop is new and it's not going to charge management fees since it's owned by a public company, it will start to charging management fees once other money comes in and new funds open up.

the good thing is that I have 2 weeks to make a decision, and inclined to go to PE since its way more fun and interesting.
