Equity Sales or IBD
I have been looking forward to join IBD. However, there is a potential equity sales offer at this moment in time. Given this tough market, I don't want to turn it down. So I just want to know is it possible that I can land on the IBD some time after being sales. if impossible, what's the general exit opportunities for equity sales. Hope some experienced monkeys can help. Any valuable inputs is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Generally it's more of a career path from what I understand than IBD is. That said, I would kill for an equity sales position right now considering how much I don't want to go back to IBD.
I did half of my internship
I did half of my internship in trading and half in banking and I must admit that I liked the former a lot more than the latter. I did interact a lot with sales and I really want to do my next internship in sales. Sales I believe can exit into private equity (not sure about this, i remember it being mentioned on wso sometime ago). Sales people can also get into trading after a while but most people stick in it I guess. I say take the offer and if you want try and lateral into IBD after a year when the markets are better (although I think you wouldn't want to once you get settled into that sort of a lifestyle). Pay is equal to IBD in the earlier stages but I believe at later stages, sales people can make a lot of money
