What are the potential career paths after starting in a top Corp Dev group out of undergrad?
Like the title says - what are various different career paths (can be anything) that you have seen (whether yourself or people you know / heard of)?
Hi ButteryScontch, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
Curious
Some that come to mind:
CD itself is seen as an exit for people in IB, so starting off in CD can be different. That being said, there are still plenty of options available after CD. Depends on your interests as you look to transition from the role.
After a couple years and deals under the belt, is it possible to lateral into an associate IB role or does it require an MBA?
Bump
2 years is probably light to lateral as an associate - would more likely hit some sort of experience analyst role. maybe a couple more years.
Thanks, wasn't 100% sure.
Sure but why would you want to?
Honestly it would have to be the perfect situation for what I want out of the experience. I would definitely target a "lifestyle" MM group, but those are hard to come by. I enjoy my role and responsibilities, but there is a nearly concrete ceiling of moving up on my team past senior analyst (2-3 more years on the team) and the money is certainly a discount compared to companies of similar size/deal flow even factoring that I live in a very LCOL area.
I'm not 100% sold on it, I still want another year or two in my current spot but just trying to get a picture of my options.
Having interviewed junior candidates with that profile for Ib before:
Outside of IB:
It’s worth thinking about how you want to drive your career and the set of skills you want to build.
I can confirm that as well, better to move when you're an analyst instead of a manager (2-3 yrs in is good). I had a few offers from some decent investment banks, MM/lower MM but they ended up being in towns I didn't like. Some tips I can offer, that I believed were reoccurring themes/questions in my dozen plus interview processes:
