Just saw your message, sorry for the late response. Below just my 2 cents: First of all, congratulations on his great accomplishments. He really has some excellent options; the decision should really come down to Mckinsey vs. hedge fund. As for which one to choose, I would say it should depend on how elite the hedge fund is and also his interest. AUM is an important indicator for a hedge fund, although there are other measures too, such as the track recorder for fund over the last 5-10 years. If the hedge fund is really a good one, then I think the decision should be more based on his interest. If the hedge fund is a small one (e.g. below $1 billion in AUM), going the Mckinsey route is probably more safe, with stronger future potentials.

PALandlord 先生， 非常及时读到了你的博文"沃顿本科 class 2015 job placement is just INSANE!“, 太好了。 儿子在Yale读经济明年毕业，但现在已经得到了几个offer，主要是两类： Consulting (including Mckinsey) and Hedge Fund. 现在的孩子当然都有自己的想法，但是作为我们这一代人思维方式，我很希望能得到你的分析意见: McKinsey or Hedge Fund, 你作为一个博学之人，如何考虑取舍？
