PE is better because you will probably pick PE over ibanking if you worked in both. however, if you're a junior person, you should know that you will probably get paid more at an investment bank than at a PE firm.

Is there any way to remove this spammer from the boards? This guy is ridiculous.

While I don't have the super sexy job of plugging a website, I do work as an associate at a private equity fund. For a starting job, I believe that you'd be better off starting in IB (or MC), since this is where you'll get the training / experience that you need for PE. Unless you're starting at the PE arm of GS, or at Blackstone, blue-chip PE funds are looking to hire well-trained, seasoned candidates - they don't want to start from scratch.

If a no-name PE firm is hiring kids straight out of undergrad, then its a pretty good bet that they're just looking for a telemarketing resource who will sit on the phone all day long in hopes of one day sourcing some shitty deal.
