Three different companies within 4-5 years?
I've searched the forums, but couldn't find much information regarding my specific situation. Basically I'm finishing up my first year in audit with a Big 4 firm and actively looking to get into banking. I initially had planned on targeting specifically "no name" boutique firms and then making a lateral move to a more respected MM firm after a year to get better experience. My concern is that I want to go to MBA eventually and I don't know how it'll look upon my profile if I've worked at three different companies in such a short period of time. I don't want to be seen as someone that can't stay within one place. But at the same time, I'm 100% sure that I don't want to be in audit.
Some of you might ask why did I do auditing in the first place. Quite honestly, I had no intentions of doing business going into undergrad. Somewhere along the line, I realized business the career I wanted to go down. But considering how poor recruiting was in '08 & '09 and with very little experience, I had no choice but to take an offer with Big 4.
Thanks for your advice!
Not an expert by any means so take my advice with a grain of salt. I think if you can show a clear progression (i.e. why you took the audit job initially, what you learned there that made you interested in banking, how does MM banking fit better into your overall career goals than no name boutique), you should be fine. For B-School applications, the thought process behind why you made a decision is a lot more important than the decision itself.
Dude I've been at GS, MS and JPM in 2 and a half years just because I didn't like my groups so don't worry about switching companies, it's easier to lateral than to move to a better group within the same bank.
