Background - 1.5 years IB at EB -> 1.5 years IB at boutique with bad deal flow -> 1.5 years LMM IB.
Made some poor career choices and blew opportunities I had during my analyst years… now feeling stuck. Should I get an MBA? What exits do I have that aren’t corp dev / strat finance? Been getting next to no traction at EB / BB IB and def not PE or HF.
