Transitioning from finance to tech
Hi there,
I am currently looking at options in Investment Consulting (think Russel, Cambridge Associates, Mercer) and PB (Merrill) and think that, at some point in the future, would be interested in transitioning to tech (sales, business development, partnerships).
If I were to stay in finance long term, I believe Investment Consulting would yield better exit opps in an area I am interested in such as fundraising, private placement, IR, whereas PB might not provide that much mobility.
However, if I were to transition to finance, the name brand of a bank like Merrill Lynch might have more cache than an investment consulting firm which, while respected within finance, might have less recognition in tech because recruiters may simply be unfamiliar with it.
Open to any thoughts and suggestions, thanks!
Why not start out in tech?
While it would be exciting, I feel as if I start out in tech, making the jump to finance at some point in my life would be quite difficult if I ever wanted to make that choice. Starting in finance and jumping to tech, particularly if it is in a sales or business dev role, is relatively feasible.
I agree on that. I guess it comes down to you knowing what you want.
