I have a desk strat offer from Goldman Sachs. I'm trying to figure out what exit opportunities I'd have if I'm unhappy with the job/compensation. Do PE firms like quant strats or are they most interested in IBD and MC?

Your exits will probably be quant hedge funds, not PE. Entirely different kinds of work.

Would it be difficult to try to transition to working in government after a few years at Bain? Any thoughts?
