I find myself at the bed of my MBA with two offers:
1-MBB in the Middle East
2-Boutique Bank 250 people doing healthcare Private Capital in Europe

If I go to the Middle East, I would join the Park team in the MBB (they already reached out) and I can eventually or move back to Europe and spend a year or two as manager and exit to PE ( I am not sure if I can exit to non operational roles)

If I stay in Europe I would lose on brand name and salary but I’ll be able to join a deal team.

Any advice

Two questions: (1) park team? (2) what’s the long term objective? Industry and geo?

If you want to be in PE Europe, that MBB might be the right choice. PE exits are often difficult if you want to get to the top 10 GPs and your not coming from MBB. In that case best possible is often a mid or small tier fund.

This seems like a no brainer, join the European team

Europe

no way from ME MBB to PE

Where in the Middle East?

Dubai

I’m assuming you’re a straight male lol

Currently working in a middle east PE shop, go to Europe. If it was an MBB in Europe or the US, exiting to PE would have been quite doable. Middle East Consulting is unique in the sense that it's not really that respected. The quality of work isn't really high. And even if you're covering PE in the region, you're mostly just helping SWFs make LP-style investments or co-investments instead of direct investments since the vast majority of their deals aren't direct acquisitions

Digital culture, and how we are real and take care of each other, is just AMAZING. That speech alone made me so proud to be here and turned around a lot of my negative thoughts.
