For turnaround the travel will likely be 80% and you will be working similar if not more hours than ib if you include travel. Pay is great at top shops but pc is probably similar pay for a much better wlb. For entrepreneurship t&r is probably better bc you deal with more operational stuff. But being in rx consulting for~4 years I’m looking to move into ib for the better pay, lack of annoying travel to bumble fuck and working with transactions (lots of the stuff I’ve done are mf tech portcos in distress)

 

I'm assuming "normally" meaning regular applying? Do you get a pretty solid amount of interviews with that approach?

 

I barely ever actually apply. I don’t even get to the hr screening without ib on the resume at most places. Gotta network for the interview always.
