1st year at MBB out of undergrad here. Considering an offer for MM PE deal team in boston. Ultimately I want to move to NYC but understand that PE shops in NYC tilt heavy toward hiring associates out of IB. Is it a bad move to take a this job with the eventual hopes of trying to jump to a NYC UMM after I get some experience? Would B school be a good way to make that move?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
