Starting Career in Corporate Strategy

Hi all,

I am interning in a very cool company this summer, and am able to work closely with our Corp Strat and Dev team. I think starting with them next year FT could be feasible, as they like me and my work, and I would be making 70-90K all in. I would be ecstatic to "skip" the two year IB grind usually required for this, and was wondering on people's thoughts on if it would be wise to start my career in this?
