FT TMT (Mid-Market) vs Cambridge MPhil Finance
Hi everyone.
I have a FT offer for a boutique similar to Torch Partners (dont want to name firm specifically but generally very similar in terms of EV and brand-recognition) working in TMT/Software which I have accepted.
Long term goal is an MBA in the States so want to spend the years in between with more responsibility at a small-ish boutique (which my offer would provide).
On the other hand, received an offer for Cambridge’s MPhil Finance. Got into a few other schools which I turned down (LBS, Imperial, LSE) because I didn’t really see the ROI given I have an offer on the table which has a decent track record for lateral opportunities upstream. Cambridge was always my dream growing up and the brand name would stick for the rest of my career, but at this stage I’ve detached a lot from the prospect of continuing academia and just want to start working.
Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Went to MFE oxford. Not exactly similar situation but here are my 2 cents:
unless your end goal is to work in the US so that can be a good pivot.
Overall, my advice is start at your boutique, lateral to BB/EB with more well-known name (i would assume it shouldn't be that hard for you to lateral if it is on par with torch) and the decide. Once you are there, the bigger platform can also help with your recruitment for MBA given bigger brand name.
Side note did anybody from your class get into any buyside programmes straight out? I hold an offer for the MFE and want to start in the buyside (incoming intern at a BB)
yes, have both SA and FT
Torch is rather LMM. MM would be something like Jeff
