Monkeys,
Some friends and I were chatting and I had thought to reach out to just ask you all your opinions.
What are the details on moving into a PE Analyst role directly out of undergrad?
Is it actually a good play? Is the investment banking 2 year deal better than an analyst role in PE.
My buddy is dead set on PE and I had told him why not try?
It's my understanding certain firms like Warburg, Blackstone, and Vista have analyst roles.
Also, what are these roles like? Are they better than an IB Analyst spot from a experience and opportunity perspective?
I know I asked many questions but any color on the matter is appreciated as I see people doing Ib just to get to PE and people starting in PE? Seems to be a little backwards.
In addition to the above, it seems to be a trend that the analyst at these firms had a pretty good BB IB summer internship. Are there firms that you would have to of worked at to be considered or is one BB as good as the other for these purposes?
Thanks in advance!
