LBS MiM / Big 4 Tech risk grad role to IBD (or any other role in banking)
Recent grad from King's College London (July 2023). Looking to get into IBD (or any other role in banking). Got an offer from LBS for their MiM program and an offer from a Big 4: Tech risk consultant. The job (2 years) entails me completing an ACA qualification. Will have no visa post MiM as I'm already on a Grad visa (Post study work visa). I am looking to get into IBD. No prior experience at a bank in London, experience in India at a capital advisory firm (Equity research) and a Big 4 summer internship (strategy & transactions). What should I choose?
Based on the WSO threads discussing career transitions and educational choices, here's a strategic breakdown to help you decide between the LBS MiM program and the Big 4 Tech Risk Consultant role:
