Alternatives to IB - "Stepping Stone"
One of the main reasons I want to go into IB is the way it looks on a resume and the opportunities it opens up down the road, whether that be continuing with finance (PE,HF, VC) or doing something else entirely. I see it as 2-3 years of hell for a wealth of opportunities and a chance to pursue anything you want in the business world.
Thoughts on this perspective? What other jobs can I land right out of college that provide the same amount of opportunities/earning potential without as much sacrifice?
There isn’t but do let me know if you find one!
If you want the same level of opportunities without the sacrifice then you’re out of luck. You put in a few hard years early so that your life is set up down the road.
If you’re willing to work, some similarly prestigious jobs are big 4 accounting, big tech coding, and MBB consulting. All of these will crush you for 80+ hours a week for at least 2 years.
If it were easy you wouldn’t get paid well, otherwise everyone would do it. If everyone did it, it wouldn’t be a stamp of approval on your résumé because you’d be nobody special.
