IB vs Audit
I have been given the opportunity to work in IB at a boutique in South Florida FT or Audit at the Big 4. My plan is to work in a Finance role long-term as a career. I know that doing Audit Big 4 to the transaction services at a Big 4 is possible after a couple years.
For me to have a good career in finance, should I just start the IB boutique or actually go into Audit and start my finance career in 2 yrs by going to transaction services? Will the Big 4 TS give better opportunities than an IB boutique??
PS I want to stay in Florida, I don't want to do IB in NY or anywhere else.
If you want to be an investment banker, take the investment banking opportunity.
Investment banking experience generally trumps accounting experience for finance careers, and you will be able to meet finance professionals @ a boutique vs accounting professionals at big 4.
.
Knowing more about the boutique offer would be helpful, however as it currently stands joining big 4 over investment banking would mean you are putting off a finance role for an accounting role, with potential to jump back into finance in the future.
In your shoes, with current info provided, I would take the banking offer and never look back.
