Post-MBA: Mid-tier IB vs. MBB Consulting
How do comps, further career opportunities, lifestyle etc. compare between mid-tier IB and MBB after a few years post MBA?
Think Wells Fargo, Stifel, HSBC, BMO, Cowen, Raymond James etc. vs. MBB
MBB.
My vote is MBB.
This is an interesting question. The obvious answer is MBB, but you have to think about what you see yourself doing down the line. If you went to a solid MBA school (I assume you did with an MBB offer) then exiting to MM PE is possible coming from one of those banks. If you see yourself going down the corporate route, then MBB will carry a lot more prestige when going to one of those companies. I went down the middle market PE route and would highly recommend it to anyone. So it just depends what you want to do. Best of luck.
Can you provide some additional insight the path to MM PE from a post-MBA MBB position? Do you see many post-MBA IBD associates at your MM PE as well?
Any insight on comp? My sense is that it is lower at MBB vs. Tier I and EB as a junior banker. At Partner/MD level you can go potentially higher in banking but with that comes much more variability and greater possibility of being fired (and not finding another comparably paying position).
I'd be curious to know (1) if people agree with that characterization and (2) whether those dynamics are the same when you are comparing mid-tier banks to MBB.
