Thoughts? Enjoying the social / relationship / ideation aspect of the IB role but couldn’t care less about execution. Perhaps this is a good long term move?
Any insights on compensation and when is best to make the move?

Seen some firms like Monomoy have a fairly substantial BD team - thoughts on this team? Any others?

My question is, what do exit opps look like. What happens if you get pushed out.
Fair - probably could return to banking if needed and if you left at the VP level?
I think it gets harder as you’re out of banking. The lanes are super regimented.
If you want to have the door slammed in your face by mid life pension plan employees in tailored dockers pants it’s the career path for you
wouldn't that be IR not BD?
My concern would be a bunch of business owners ignoring your cold outreach emails. That can get old fast. If it’s just managing bankers, maybe a decent role if there’s upward mobility. The other challenge is half of the industry is ex sales people, so that drags the quality down.
