Is it worth it?
Lateral thinking about coming into IB. Know it’s not going to be a good fit and frankly don’t want to get grinded 9a-1a Monday-Thursday, 9-9 Friday, and a whole Sunday. I could use the finance experience, but don’t want to stick it out two years and if placed on a shitty team, not sure I could stomach a year given my last few years. Is it worth it for 6 months or should I try to move internally in big four finance transformation consulting to one of their strategy arms and then exit to Corp Dev, Strategic Finance or similar. Will 6 months do more harm than good or can I get out of there if it’s unbearable? I’m sure I could get placed on a solid team and have a good experience, but I don’t know till after placement and have never worked in IB. It sounds like some people have reasonable teams and hours, and sometimes isn’t as fully encompassing as it’s made out to be - though maybe they’re in the minority.
Seen the threads of people being a slave to the CV and want to avoid that if it’s as bad as some of the people on here make it out to be. The goal isn’t to get MF PE or make a bag like most - just could probably use the deal experience to get to Corp dev or more interesting jobs
Given this mindset am I going to get cooked in this job or is a 6-month stint better than no stint? Always viewed B school as a way to reset if I need it and don't want to have to slave to a CV to make it happen if it becomes unbearable. Ultimately not dying to do this I just think it could be useful and also trying to figure out if this is the type of job that if you don't have a burning passion to be there and do the two-year program you shouldn't even bother. Unsure given this sentiment and potential ramifications if I should avoid altogether.
