Consulting vs Analyst
I have been offered a position with a well established financial research systems company as a consultant. Basically they provide the reports and software to create the reports for investment banks and hedge funds. My job would be to assist our clients in ensuring their software is set up for their specific needs. This would give me a lot of face time and exposure to different types of bankers and fund managers.
I have always desired to work in investment banking but am underdeveloped in some of the technical knowledge to ace the interview for an analyst position. This consulting job would not only give me more time to educate myself but it would keep me in the finance/banking industry to the point that I would be able to continue learning.
I just don't want to get stuck in a position wishing I would have taken a shot at my chances in banking and losing some valuable time.
Any thoughts?
Your title doesn't seem to have anything to do with the subject.
You can always get an MBA later to rebrand if you don't have any other offers.
Is this FactSet or BBG?
This isn't the kind of job that will allow you to transition to banking. As someone above said, you could get the MBA later and go that way. If you don't have a banking offer and feel like you are not in a great position to get one (especially given how late it is in FT recruiting season), remember- a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
