IB PF vs. Risk @ BB
Hi guys, I'm trying decide between a few offers and was hoping y'all could provide some insight. I have an offer for public finance investment banking, and an offer from risk management in the same BB, and an offer in corporate banking @ a MM.
I've heard that Pub Fin banking doesn't have good exit opps given that the space is so niched, and that the skill set isn't that transferrable. However, it is considered 'banking' though not necessarily traditional IB.
I've also heard that a the skillsets in risk are also not as transferrable to traditional IB and that bonuses are less than IB -- though both offers, pub fin and risk, have the same base. However, I've heard that in risk I'll get to work with senior bankers and have that exposure, and in a sense, the work is front-mid office especially at this BB.
I also have an offer for corporate banking at a MM, which will give me exposure to pitch books and transactions.
Tbh I'm not really sure where I'm planning to move in a few years, but I want something that will give me the most exit opps. Pub Fin, though it is technically considered IB, does not have good exit opps, and I've heard that the group has historically not given many return offers. Risk has a higher retention rate, but also idk that much about exit opps, and my corp banking offer gives me exposure to transactions, but is at a MM.
What do you guys think? How should I think about out this? What should I do? Any insight is much appreciated! Thanks!
