Get FT at BB. Lateral to EB.
Don’t stay at school for another year. Did they teach you about opportunity cost?
Tuition would only be $15k and I have no student debt.
I see the answer is no
How badly do you want EVR/CVP/LAZ? If you're dead set on lateraling after joining BB for FT, give it another year at uni and go for what you want. In the long-run, extra year is nothing.
Honestly, it’d mostly be for the pay + another yr of college experience considering this last yrs been fucked.
Take FT BB Offer. After bonus hits lateral to EB.
Damn man, how did you secure a SA offer in the first place? Are you like a philosophy major or sumthing, cause opportunity cost....
I understand PrEsTigE, but damn to gamble a BB IBD offer, lol?
Wasn’t really thinking about foregone income for first yr. But honestly that doesnt really matter that much in the grand scheme of things. Theres intangibles that cantreally be factored into OC
What if inflation picks up to 5%, and markets crash 50% from now next year? Will headcount remain the same ?
just lateral. You are retarded if you actually are considering this. While odds from an EB are marginally better, there are handful of people every year who go from mid-tier BB to MF or HF if they are rockstars .
I would focus more on being a rockstar within your group than on tiny differntiations in prestige.
Not prestige - compensation and another yr of varsity sport
