Hey friends,
I could use some advice on whether to take a corporate M&A job, or hold off to wait to hear from traditional IB's.
For a little background, I'm a junior from a large non-target state school on the east coast. Although we are among the largest schools in the US ( 30), we have only had 1 front office IB grad in at least the last 20 years that I know of (and it's nowhere near a BB). I have a decent (>3.5) GPA, several financial internships, nationally recognized volunteer work, etc. I have been networking like a stalker and feel as good as I can at this point about my chances at several IB's/banking institutions for SA positions (BB, GE Cap, boutiques).
I have also been connected to the leaders of one of the largest private companies in the world's commercial M&A group. They are wheelers and dealers at the moment and my family works at the company. I also feel good about this and anticipate a yes/no before the holidays.
Given that I won't hear from the IB's until ~Jan/Feb, and I will definitely hear back from the M&A group before then, any advice? My ultimate goal is to end up in healthcare VC/PE and will do whatever it takes to get there
much love
BSB
You're talking all hypotheticals here. There is no point in worrying about it before you get the m&a offer. Once you get that find out how long you have before the offer expires.
Why don't you get that offer first and then we can dream.
