Ex Investment banking analyst here. Have an offer at the aforementioned for generalist investment analyst / associate roles.

The hedge fund has a meager 200MM AUM and 3 investment professionals, while the private equity fund has around 1.8B in AUM including 900MM of dry powder.

I feel like it would be an EASY decision if the hedge fund were larger, however, I feel like 200MM AUM is a bit small and the PE shop may be a better option because of size and scale.

Will it be “easier” to recruit to larger HF after I am in PE?

Really struggling to make the decision so would love advice from you guys and gals.
