Better to move to IB from Corporate RM role or from Credit Analyst role?
I currently have an offer for a Credit Analyst role at Standard Chartered, which is credit-focused and involves financial analysis, credit assessments, and some exposure to modelling.
I also have a background in corporate coverage, including an offer for a Corporate RM role at TD Securities in coverage. This is a highly front-office role, involving relationship management with corporate clients, working closely with product partners, doing slides / pricing models, and acting as the bank's face to clients.
My ultimate goal is to transition into Investment Banking, specifically in DCM or LevFin. Which path would provide a better foundation? Does the client-facing exposure and deal flow in corporate coverage offer an advantage, or is the analytical and credit-focused experience from a credit analyst role more relevant to breaking into these IB areas?
Would love to hear your thoughts and advice!
