I'll be starting at a BB this summer and would eventually like to make the move to either an LBO shop of VC firm.
1) What are the major differences between the two? VC firms finance deals, but then how are they different from banks or other lenders?
2) For an analyst (which is what I assume I'd be with two years IB experience), what are the major differences in terms of the responsibilities?
3) I had planned on going into an M&A group because I've been told that is the best prep for PE. But then I hear that if I want to go into LBO, work in financial sponsors or high yield. And if VC, an industry group. Please clarify.
THANKS!
