Best Route IB -> Remote Corp Fin Role?
Hi fellow monkeys,
I’m wrapping up my An1 year at a MM IB that does primarily debt deals.
I’m looking to move from IB to a remote corp finance / corp strategy role within the next year or so.
My wife has the opportunity to do a travel medicine stint within the next 2 years so I’d like a job that would let use both bounce around the country for a few years.
What would be the way to structure this move? From what I understand remote jobs are harder to come by and as a result are way more competitive. Would finding a good recruiter be step one?
I appreciate any insight / advice.
Thanks!
Hi Analyst 1 in IB - Cov, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
Not much input but in a similar situation except I'm in a large IB in a sweaty coverage group focused on M&A. Seems like remote roles are still very few and all of them quote massive pay cuts, any other data points would be useful
I work for an F50 doing remote corp fin (only see my coworkers in person for work parties / traveling for the occasional conference) , and everyone on all our finance teams are remote. Pretty much everyone I know who works at a comparable company is still remote. I stay in contact with a handful of recruiters at any given time, and it seems like the smaller AND older the company, the more likely they are to require in office work (young startups don't seem to mind remote / nor do big companies).
If you're patient, you'll get a remote offer. Good luck!
Not sure what type of corp fin. In corporate development, it is not common to be 100% remote. Also, be mindful that the bandwidth of corp finance is much smaller and career trajectory much slower too.
