Product control vs. TAS Valuatioon

So I was at a MO finance job at a top BB previously and have now come to the UK for a MSc Finance degree at a top target.

I have been offered the following (both for Japan) and was wondering which would be better: - senior analyst in product control at a big Euro bank (think CS, UBS, DB) for 97kUSD (converting yen to USD) + performance based bonus - consultant in Big 4 TAS Valuations for 81kUSD + bonus + overtime pay for work done after 10pm

For the PC role, I will have to quit grad school and work immediately (got it through a recruitment agency).

Thanks,

Please do not do product control. Finish school and do TAS Val, or whatever else that comes up.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 
lionheartDunno seems like making 97k working 9-7 sounds pretty good to me. Also, does TAS offer good exit opps at the moment given the abysmal economy??

Nevermind. You'll be fucking perfect for it.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
