Avoiding An Early Career Plateau
I feel like I have reached a plateau in terms of growth after 1.5 years as a Credit Analyst at a Large Bank (BoA, WF, Citi). I am actively networking and interviewing, but have come across a dilemma:
A similar job title but more career development and responsibilities at a small/regional bank or a move to a Rotational Program at a similar large bank?
If offered the two, which would be more beneficial to a top 15 MBA track >> Buy Side Analyst in AM or HF? Would I be able to jump right from the Rotational Program into an MBA? Would it be better to continue honing my skill set but at a smaller level?
MBAs are useless once you made it in banking; it's good if you want to get into banking in the first place, or want to stay in IBD vs moving into PE.
Welcome to life, it's repetitive, if you want change go start your own company.
If you change for a smaller bank you are too young to go yet, and I am sure you still have some more to learn. Stick around for another year and a half, get promoted and then move if that's what you want to do. Get your CFA out of the way, go take night classes, learn an instrument if you are bored.
