Teach for America vs. Boutique IB
So I go to a top Ivy, and majored in the humanities. I got into Teach for America in their early admissions round, but I also have an offer lined up at a boutique investment bank in NYC. I’m not sure what I should do. The path I’m familiar with is TFA -> MBA -> Consulting/F500. I’m not sure if I would have any other exit opportunities out of this path?
Whereas I think my chances at one of the top business schools is not nearly as high with the non-elite boutique investment bank. But I don’t want to be a career banker. I originally wanted to work in a fundamental HF or in VC, but the hedge fund career path is looking quite unlikely out of a small boutique. And venture capitalism opportunities are rare, although possible out of consulting?
I feel like my peers that worked right out of undergrad will have saved so much more money than me, as I will start working so late given the path I mentioned above. One of my honest considerations is keeping up with my peers. What should I do?
So long as the boutique has dealflow, you can always lateral.
If you're not truly interested, teach for america will be miserable, both for you and the students. It's just not fair to either party.
