BB Capital Markets Exits

Any thoughts on exit opps from bulge bracket capital markets?

Joined from non-IB background, and am up for associate promote this year

The role is fine, but don’t feel like I am learning as much about the actual companies and gaining technical skills (eg modeling)

Appreciate responses on

  1. Possible exits (Corp Dev? VC?)
  2. Exit timing / # months needed so resume does not look spotty (12 months?)
  3. Pros / cons of leaving early as Analyst vs. staying until Assoc. (Better exits?)
