So I have an offer from a big $300B+ alt (Carlyle, Neuberger, Ares) to do credit research sophomore summer. I also have an offer from a top LO (Dodge and Cox, Capital Group, Harris Associates, Abdiel Capital). I really want to do LO bc equities are my end goal after banking but feel brand name of the alts will be much better for banking recruiting - or does it not matter?

Congrats on Neuberger!
is it really that bad soph summer. should i recruit once more. come from a target and most ppl said these are great offers to have soph summer but they may be trolling
No lol you'll be fine. Soph summer doesn't matter too much, it's just one line on your resume saying "Incoming Summer Analyst at...."
Do not rerecruit and focus on networking for SA 2025
Harris has a very strong internal promotion culture, so if that’s your offer and you genuinely love value investing then that’s the one I would take. If you’re looking for optionality, you’re right, the top credit shops will look better on a resume and help you more for banking recruiting (especially dcm)
No D&C or Capital Group people will go to a bank. Take one of that and get the return
What abt Harris
.
Abdiel > Dodge and Cox >>> Capital Group >>> Ares = Carlyle > Harris Associates > Neuberger
This is what people actually in the industry think of, name-wise for those roles, roughly speaking.
Are we thinking of same Abdiel?? The one down like 60% last year??
Tiger was down 56% last year and college students on this site would still give their left nut to work there. Great argument intern.
