Stay in London for buyside or NYC for IBD
Hi all,
Currently a senior IBD analyst in London. Since I was a kid I’ve always wanted to spend a year or two over in NYC or California then move back to London but it was never really an option for my bank (I come from a non bulge bracket where transferring across offices is rare). However, I raised this internally to seniors and only very recently they said they might be able to transfer me in a few months to NYC which would be amazing.
However, my long term plan is buyside in London and I am currently recruiting for an investment fund in London with a strategy I really like (I’m fairly far in the process) and if everything goes well and I do receive an offer, I’m unsure what to do, given how tough buyside recruiting is (and coming from a non BB/EB makes it even harder for me) and my long term plan is buyside in London then this is like a perfect opportunity for me vs my “dream” since a kid of always wanting to experience America for a couple years but staying in banking and risk not being able to recruit for a buyside role after.
For the record the investment fund only has a London office so the option of accepting the offer (if I get one) and then trying to move to the states a few years down the line isn’t an option.
Would appreciate hearing everyone’s thoughts / advice on this matter.
is the PE offer for an immediate start?An option might be to delay the offer for a few months and start after the rotation.
It is for an immediate start
What about going to PE and doing an MBA in two years or so?
Take the buy-side offer and don’t look back. That has been your goal all along. Experience in the US is great but looks uncertain at this stage (you just don’t know if and when it is going to materialize).
