Would exposure to technology companies or Manufacturing and distribution companies be better in terms of experience and potential exit opportunities down the line? Does it make much of a difference?

With M&D I’d gain exposure to inventory and inventory costing methods as well as fixed assets, but with tech exposure I’d gain access to stock options, warrants, convertible notes, intangible assets, goodwill, but the clients would be more volatile.

I’m not looking to leave PA, just trying to weigh my options.

where do you live/want to live? is it a big tech area or large city? otherwise id expect more manufacturing and distribution type companies

I live in Chicago, but for a national firm.

Entirely depends on your desired exit. Anecdotally, I wanted to transition into fdd and consulting, so I steered away from controls, and the financial services clients I was largely on at the time.
