Start Up VS BB

Ummm - is this even a decision?

Take the Startup PE fund. Sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Is something wrong with your shift key?

On a separate note, how large is the PE fund? And what exactly do you mean by start-up - it sounds like they've already done several deals.

From what you say about the PE it sounds like a great opp. It is the more risky I would say however no risk, no reward...good luck!

hmmm...they aren't really startup if they've done amazing deals. If they're paying that much more, as well as having that good a deal-record than I'd lean towards it. Hard to say though without knowing the fund size and which fund it is specifically. Perhaps you should PM some of the more senior people here like Genghis or smuguy who are in-the-know about the industry.

Fund is about $3.8B and on the hand the firms is only 2 years old.. but the manamgent is from all BIG PE FIRMS and BB Banks.. The form also offers IB services and PE is there new GIG .. they firm already has ton of money raised in billions and have bog shot connections with the leading businessmen and wealthy families..

But no one knows the name of rhte firm.. so business school wil not recognize it.. on the other hand.. It has a solid future..

I am ore leaning toward cuz have money but.. BB u can never go wrong.. but im really confused .. again thanks in advance..

Risk vs. security. At the PE fund you have the chance to rise through the ranks faster andget alot of money, yet it couldalso go bust- unlike the BB. But if you think about it you canprobably get a BB job even if the PE firm goes bust. I personally think that the cahnce at thePE firm is better because you can always get a better job and this is a great oppurtunity.

I think the experience you get far outweighs any brand name recognition on a resume.

Wouldn't you obviously hire a superstar from a PE firm such as this, rather than someone that just "got by" at a BB?
