I Got and offer in RX at a private credit fund (Mega fund) and PE sr. Analyst (LMM) 4 months ago and took the RX role

like

Although I think I do find the work more interesting in PE, the primary reason for the decision was due to comp (2x of what PE would have been) and also name brand (Known PE/PC shop where I do RX vs small unknown shop that I got an offer in PE from). Think this will also set me up for better exits if I want to leave in the future
