Stuck at a crossroad - Seeking Advice
Hello guys, I’m currently at a large bank working in operational risk. I didn’t graduate with a finance degree however I do want to do something in Finance (hopefully FO roles like coverage or M&A). I’m unsure what to do next, can someone provide some insight? The below are a few things I’m considering or already in the middle of:
Obtain a level 1 CFA and try to move internally (told this works and doesn’t work)
Currently interviewing with a large consulting firm (told can probably only stay in consulting, hard to exit to banking unless I have MBA or masters)
Accept an offer in commercial Credit and PWM, would have to move away from NYC (heard that I may be able to get into DCM, but still hard)
Thank you!
1) CFA will not help
2) Fine if you just want out of BO, but will not exit to banking
3) Fine but again depends on what you want - those are fine careers but not likely to get to IB
Why not just go to MBA? If you can land M7 or T15 you will have an easy path to BB/EB IB ASO - especially with a large bank already on your resume. That is the path of least resistance, the things you are naming will take years and are not clear paths even with that.
Thank you for the advice!
