Would take Sycamore, have heard great things about the culture and solid exits
Why go into PE at all if you want to exit?
Why go into banking at all if you want to exit? The entire goal of 90%+ of people in this industry is gaining skills you can leverage for a better opportunity down the line.
Firms both have strong reps in the MM/UMM as consultant-friendly NYC firms, but end up playing in different processes. Feel like it comes down to industry preference. If you want to do consumer/retail I’d choose Sycamore given their focus, portfolio and recent processes they been involved in. If you want business services or industrials I’d choose AEA. Their consumer team is solid as well, but plays in much smaller processes/company sizes and has a smaller consumer portfolio. If you’re industry agnostic you can’t go wrong with either imo
Have heard Sycamore culture is good, AEA not so much
What have you heard about AEA's culture?
Sweatshop, not much collegiality
I would prefer Sycamore but they’re both solid offers.
Thanks everyone for your input!
Wait, no one has given you the right answer so far. AEA has far better returns than Sycamore, I'd pick them.
Returns Shmeturns
They suck
Stay away from Sycamore. Place has a terrible reputation and Kaluzny is in hot water for being in the Jeffery Epstein documents
