Hello I am Paul and this is my 2nd post on WSO. First, I would like to thank all the people who have given me some great advice. I really do appreciate it. I have started networking even harder and I am looking at other careers in finance like: ER, PWM, AM etc... Still networking does not pay the bills.
I work at a BB already but not in a high paying role. I am able to meet my obligations as of right now; however, I am getting married very very very soon. My future wife is in her 1st year of her medical residency so is she far from making her "DR." money. There will be undoubtly an increase in expenses and I know I can pay them but I will be broke after. I have considered teaching but I love banking.
I live in the higgest paid school district in Houston, TX. If I was able to land a job with them I could easly afford all the bills. I would also be able to obtain my CFA and MS Fin with the increase pay. I could also leverage my off time to shadow Bankers like I already do today. Maybe even a SA if a summer break is long enough.
Or, do I keep my job in the BB and continue networking and hope to land a better paying banking job? Also, I have my Series 7 and 66 so a part time job is not an option for me.
I would like as much input as possible. My future wife says to teach and I am leaning that way; however, I will not do that if it hurts my chances of getting the career I really want.
Once again forgive the grammar. I writing this between my client's appointments.
whats your role? BO/ops? if your bank sponsored you for your 7, dont they want you to trade? or is it IB M&A youre looking for.
A lot of ops/trade support roles get their 7 as well for whatever reason.
Does your bank do tuition reimbursement? If so, why not just keep your job and pursue an MS-F from Rice or UH in the evening? If your bank would pay for it, I'd also consider a part-time MBA from Jones (or Bauer if you've got to pay for it yourself).
I am a financial advisor with the retail banking side of my BB. It's a fun job and the pay is good but know it's not what I truly want. I just started with my new firm so my book is small. They will reimburse up to 3500 towards a graduate degree; however, you have too have a 96% or higher on your yearly review to qualify.
It's just very perplexing. Do I keep the banking role albeit retail and network or do I get a bump in pay teaching while making myself a better IBD candidate?
The CFA Program won't help you become a better IBD candidate.
Don't those high paying teaching jobs require a teaching credential?
