Family Office Vs Tech Sales

Hi lads,

just gathering some thoughts from people in the industry. I received an offer for an Investment Analyst Internship in a Family Office and am also interviewing for a Business Development Representative (BDR) position in a big tech.


I accepted the FO but am having second thoughts.

The office is really small (3 to 5 analysts and 2 to 3 investment managers). I would say that I'm more interested in PWM in a big bank instead of working with just a family and staring at a screen 10h a day without any external relationship with clients. The other doubt is about the possible exit opportunities and the career progression (I guess really slow). (Could also a switch to PWM be feasible after 6m-1y?)


The tech sales was kind of the plan B. Better starting salary, better hours, more colleagues and some WFH. For this I've more doubts about the long run, maybe in the beginning it could be better but when you reach more senior positions things change. Also worries about changing industry, e.g. from tech sales to Pharma sales.

I would like to know your opinion about this.

Thanks everyone!
