Credit to Investment Banking

I am a credit analyst likely about to be promoted to a PM and I am near completion of a online MBA. If I apply to a IB this year or next year as a PM should I apply to be an Analyst or Associate? 

-my MBA should be completed next year

-current comp is 85 should be a good bit more after promotion but I'm sure a investment bank will have no problem beating it substantially

Bump - I’m starting a Credit Analyst position in January in the south. Would love to hear more about IB exit ops / exit ops in general.

 

Thanks already reached out to one Leveraged Finance group with JP Morgan and got a chat with one of the bankers. It sounds like as I get promoted into this PM role I would be a very good fit if not now once that promotion takes affect. You are a big help, wish I had more people who know about finance in my current location.
