Go for an IB analyst role at a small regional boutique or stay in MO at a large tier 2 bank?
Hey everyone,
I currently work in trade support (middle office) at a large tier 2 bank (think citigroup, bnp paribas, mizuho, societe generale, Barclays etc) and I've passed the recent CFA L1. Although I do enjoy the work and the pay isn't bad, I do have aspirations for an FO role.
I have the opportunity to apply for an IB analyst role at a very small regional boutique in my city. They have like 30-50 employees. From their website, their clients are definitely more local and smaller but they do seem to have deal flow. Is it worth it to leave my middle office role for this IB analyst role at this small boutique? Also, would an exit to a larger bank be eventually possible?
Thank you!
Why not network within your own bank and go for a front office role there?
that's definitely a possibility but I feel like it would make my transition to the FO slower. I definitely feel like I need to stay in MO a bit longer than I have (a bit less than a year) and "earn my stripes" and be a top performer.
