Anyone has serious trouble picking an exit?
Pretty sure this is not an uncommon problem. Have been feeling confused about my career and am geniuely not sure about what sort of exit I want. Second year BB IB. Doing an MBA is not an option given that I have a mortgage and my family is not well off. Below are the sort of things I have considered:
PE: High number of positions available. High pay. Interested in the business and modelling side but not so much the deal process side. Hours can be bad.
HF: Bad job security and cutthroat culture. Hours can be tough but good pay. Interesting work
VC: My coverage does not offer exit to VC otherwise would be interested
FoF: Good pay, good hours. Work can get boring. Limited exit.
IR: See FoF
CD: Very few positions available at the moment, especially in my coverage sector. Again interested in the business and modelling side but not so much the deal process stuff. Median pay.
Corp Strategy: Haven't come across them at my level and for my coverage sector yet.
Strategy Consulting: Would be very interested but pretty much a no go zone without an MBA especially at MBB
CB: Not interested in focusing on financing alone and in some cases, it can be purely relationship driven
AM: Would be interested but again not many positions available. They also don't seem to hire from IB much. Good hours. Decent pay
ER: See AM
At a loss here. How did ya all end up with your exit outside of the "all my mates went to Karlyle and Blapollo"?
Personally have been really interested in renewable project finance, e.g working for a developer of sorts. Would be my ideal mix of challenging / interesting, and decent pay/progression in a growing field.
