Hi Fellow Monkeys,
Wanted to get your opinions on a dilemma:
Currently working for a big 5 canadian bank in an industry group. An ex-coworker from a Canadian big 5's mid-market group (doing deals under $150MM EV) has informed me of an opening.
Im a bit conflicted on what I want to do. The position intrigues me but I do see that it's a risky move and a bit of a one way street. If I leave for mid market, it will be substantially harder to move back:
Pros of staying: - better pay in the short term and possibly long term - bigger transaction - bigger team - more job and pay stability - has a few tough personalities that you have to work for
Pros of joining the mid market group - smaller team with flatter structure - more responsibility and will be attending more meetings - better hours - more entrepreneurial culture - know some people in the group and they're all decent people
Would like your thoughts.
