If you are interested in the industry, I would definitely go for the BB. I would probably do the BB unless I really disliked the industry for some reason.
All non GS/MS/JP BB groups that aren't M&A/sponsors represents about 50 groups, which are not homogeneous... impossible to say.
If you're focused purely on buyside, I would say the boutique might give you a more focused experience... but the difference is minimal.
Definitely the boutique. Those two are both very strong, and the boutique experience will be much better than BB for buyside placement
it really doesnt matter..nowadays, the moelis/pwp's of the world are just as well recognized as the BB.
that said, if you would like to do banking/buyside internationally, the BB name will carry more weight..
thanks for the input. for what it's worth, i do like the industry. anybody else?
If you really like the industry (like one of my friends who only interviewed for TMT groups) and you're keeping your options open after two years, go with the BB.
If you know you want to be in PE after two years and wanted to be in M&A/Sponsors, go with PWP/Moelis.
On Moelis, specifically, I would make sure you're committed to 110+ hr. weeks and lots of sell-side M&A pitch processes before you take the dive.
bb of course as long as its not 299 park avenue
I would go with the BB. If you do like the industry than you are more likely to do well in your group. Success is the best way to secure a top buyside opportunity. Also, if you have a background working in a specific industry you can exit to a industry focused PE shop more easily. If you like your job then you will take more away from it and this will translate in interviews later on.
Both Moelis and PWP are great shops, but analyst frequently will get assigned to work on deals they are just not interested in at all. In Moelis' case they are looking for more and more dealflow which can result in boring assignments.
If you are a middle of the road analyst at either I would say the Moelis/PWP take the cake slightly. If you are a superstar it shouldn't matter. All said and done, if you like the coverage group, you should go with the BB.
Cheers!
id take the bb offer in this case, but pwp is a great shop as well
you can not go wrong, but as a young banker, I'd go for the BB
but it is a really really tough call
bb all the way
depends on which group for BB... deal flow etc...
PWP/Moelis have great placement into PE, don't forget that. I'd go where you think you have the most opportunity to learn. Personally I'd go the boutique route between PWP/Moco if not GS/MS
