I don't want to be in consulting or ib for more than 2 years, just wanna learn about biopharma space and get into biotech vc. I'm between 2 offers for full-time right now:
Evercore in Life Sciences banking division (Menlo Park) or Mckinsey SF is generalist.
Pros of Evercore: I'll be only on biotech deals and can learn much more about the field and how to think strategically about business from a finance perspective + more pay
Cons of Evercore: Not as well known, so may not add that stamp to my resume that Mck would
Pros of Mckinsey: Good to have on resume, will add that stamp to have my resume picked up consistently for future jobs
Cons of Mckinsey: I don't think I'm gonna learn anything that concrete in the 2 years that I can apply back to my career aspirations + no healthcare focus + less pay
Thoughts everyone?
I took a McK offer over a top EB offer in new york .... and i wished I had done the opposite
Plus u could always lateral to consulting after a few years (i've worked w a few) or during business school
Clik here to view.
