Don’t think I’ve ever seen this - why do you want to do this?
Uncommon but not that uncommon. I work with a director who went MBA > MBB (made it to EM) > Strategic finance/Corp dev > IB. He’s very good at his job but truthfully ive never talked to him about why he did it. Obviously money and he’s a grinder but not too sure other than that
Definitely expected the reverse trajectory to be true!
