Which job do I take?

The engineering job sounds like fun.

What is the advisory position for? Transaction Advisory? Tax Advisory? Something else?

You're an aeronautical engineer man, naturally I'd say advisory but in your case, the engineering job might be better. Put your degree to good use and do something smart. What exactly do you want to do in IB?

Knock out Audit at the Big 4 and you're left with 2 choices.

I'd personally take the engineering role, but if you're bent on IB, go for Big 4 advisory.

Does it matter what we would do?

Think very hard about what you want to do and what you want to achieve. What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself in 5, 10, 20 years?

London based myself with some experience in big 4 advisory. It really does depend which of the big 4 it is. If you want you can drop me a PM and I can find some stuff out for you as I have friends in 2 out of 4 so could possibly find out a bit more for you. Speaking as somebody with experience in big 4 audit who is now at an elite boutique, don't do it if it's not what you have your heart set on.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the replies. It is for IT Advisory. I am interested in M&A advisory to be specific. I am not sure if I enjoyed being an engineer too much, the lack of variety and pace made it less interesting that it actually is. I want to be in a fast paced environment where I can add real value, not just be part of a team and ticking off things if that makes sense.

Yes, I have already said no to the audit offer.

Thanks.
