IDK anything about you or what you want out of a career, but I'd do the tech one.
Thanks, I didn't break into equity research like I wanted out of undergrad so I'm sorting out my safety net job.
Do you think it would it be difficult to re-enter capital markets jobs a few years down the line?
Job at the tech company sounds much better than working at ER. Do you get stock options or anything?
No stock options, an ok salary (gbp 40k) and room to advance quickly - or so i'm told
A Tech Unicorn is only paying a technical hire $50k and no equity? I know it's entry-level but I'm surprised.
I have crappy programming skills and it's a conservative European start up. Regret not studying comp sci so I could have gone straight into software dev.
A little unclear about what the tech role is exactly, but in general, the closer you are to something, the easier it is to transition. So it'd probably be easier to get into ER from credit rating than from tech. That being said, you might like the tech role a lot, and you can always rebrand via MBA to get into finance if you really want to.
