Q&A - 1st Year LatAm M&A Analyst in Big 4 Corporate Finance
Hi all,
I haven't posted here in a while but have benefitted tremendously from the insights posted by others. Figured I would contribute to the community by sharing my experience and answering any questions I can.
About me:
-Finishing my 1st year working as an M&A Analyst working and living in in LatAm (Think Peru/Bolivia/Chile/Argentina) for a Big 4 corporate finance team
-Born in a Central American country, moved to the US in elementary school but spoke primarily Spanish at home (Dual Citizen)
-Liberal arts undergrad from semi-target, master's in general business (not an MBA) from semi-target (both semi target b/c MS, GS, JPM, ML recruit actively but are not ivies/top 10)
-Interned in research for a boutique bank in the tri-state area and got a full time offer there but turned it down for an offer to start my career in LatAm because I would have regretted not taking advantage of the opportunity to work abroad in Spanish & English
-Just started a local nonprofit with some friends to teach at-risk youth from underserved & underprivileged constituencies english, public speaking/presentation skills, resume writing and interviewing skills among other things
Please feel free to ask me anything (within reason)!
