Great question, Akash! You’re absolutely right – some IB groups offer stronger exit opportunities than others, especially if your goal is private equity.
If PE is the target, your best bets are:
While these groups tend to have the best exits, keep in mind that deal experience matters more than group selection. If you land in a less traditional group but get solid transaction exposure, you’ll still be in a strong position.
If you want to discuss specific banks or strategies to position yourself for PE recruiting, feel free to reach out – I’d be happy to help!
