I'm a graduating senior at a target school. I was initially going to return full time to a mid-tier BB (CS, BofA , Barclays ) but I recently received an offer to join a late stage tech startup ($10+ bn valuation ) on their strategic finance team. Just wanted some opinions on how I should think about this decision - comp, career risk, etc.

live your life YOLO
If you have any qualms or concerns about the tech offer other than being completely gun-ho about it, I'd suggest taking the BB offer first. Your optionality increases with banking and you might get an even sweeter strategic finance offer after 2 years there. If you end up hating both jobs and leave within 1.5-2 years, you end up better off moreso after banking.

No brainer, do banking. Late stage startup means you won't get enough equity to be life changing. Not worth the risk/reward. Banking has the best optionality out of any starting job imo.
