I have two job offers and don’t know which path to pursue.
1.) Finance Development Program at a Fortune 5 company (Tech)
2.) Senior Analyst at PGIM (Acquisitions)
I have experience in both but don’t know which path to head down. Any insight on the LifeCo world/exit opps would be greatly appreciated.

Can’t speak to the Dev Program, but PGIM is very solid when it comes to exits. Common saying is PGIM “trains the street”, meaning tons of alum end up in great spots after exiting. A LinkedIn search should confirm this. Other option still seems very solid, imo just up to which path you want to take in your career.
Well, considering you are asking this in a real estate forum, and you have named one of the biggest, most prestigious names in institutional real estate, PGIM starting in acquisitions no less vs. an unnamed tech firm's fin dev program (if you really meant Fortune 5, do you mean Apple or Amazon? Or did you mean Fortune 500, which is a bit different lol..... I think most here would pick PGIM. Tbh, I really don't know what you do in the other job, how it pays, how it progresses, etc.
So, if you omitted the "either or" part of this post.... yeah of course you should take the PGIM gig, one of best jobs you can get out there to start in real estate.
With the "either or" part being the way it is.... it's all about what you want to do, personally, "finance development program" at a tech company sounds boring as shit to me. Like would have zero interest and wouldn't apply.... alas... I really like real estate (I'm sure many in the tech industry would say same about real estate or my job).
This is your career, don't see how anyone can really help you in a forum like this make this decision just go with what feels right!
