Hi all,
Currently AN2 at a decently sized boutique in London in industrials. Not a fan of the super long hours, and want to switch to Corp Dev/Strategy.
Should I lateral to a more well-known bank for 1-2 more years to maximize my chances of getting into F500 Corp Dev? Or are there any success stories that anyone is aware of from boutiques?
