Hi guys and gals, I'm looking for some advice.
I've got two offers: pensions consultant and market risk. Given my long term goal of M&A what should I take?
Pros: Market Risk:
Team is within a stable P&L environment. Opportunity to potentially lateral internally to M&A
Pros Pensions Consultant:
FO not MO, Pay including bonus is more than 50% higher Client facing / presenting to CFOs etc.
Cons: Very specialized (could apply to market risk also to be fair).
Location for both is New York / London

Market risk is quite broad. What would you be doing exactly?
I'm not sure it will necessarily get you to lateral into M&A where most of what you do as a junior is spreading comps, searching potential buyers/sellers and staring at excel all day long but if you think there are some similarities and you want to do M&A then go for it
pensions consultant sounds indeed like it would be very niche and consultant unless you want to become an FI expert
