Which route to pick: Operations Analyst @ BB, Risk Analyst @ Top Insurance Broker, Corporate Audit @ BB, Financial Analyst @ F50
Hi everyone,
I have a dilemma here in picking what career path I should pursue after I graduate next semester. My ultimate goal is to get an MBA and probably transition to consulting since that was my goal in undergrad but unfortunately didn't get any offers in it. From my understanding here excluding extracurriculars and gmat score, the position and more importantly quality of your work experience is important.
I understand these roles are marginally the same in the sense that they aren't high finance and some are even pure Back Office roles, but with and getting quality work experience in mind for a long term perspective in getting an MBA which of these paths would run me in the right direction to a solid MBA program:
- Operations Analyst - JP Morgan
- Risk Analyst - Marsh McLennan
- Corporate Audit - Bank of America Merrill Lynch
- Financial Analyst - The Boeing Company
- Continue Recruiting for other roles?
Any help/feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Financial Analyst at Boeing by several miles, this isn't even close
This. Take it and run
^^ Thanks for the feedback! Just wondering, why I should pick that over the others?
You should pick Financial Analyst at Boeing because:
Operations Analyst - JP Morgan - Have you heard how bad Ops is? If not, keep reading more on this site. Dead end Risk Analyst - Marsh McLennan - depends but typically entry level risk you are stuck in a shitty group while the good groups are full of ex-S&T folk who wanted a better lifestyle Corporate Audit - Bank of America Merrill Lynch - You will hate life in audit, it sucks and no one likes you. Dead end
try to recruit to ibd. Out of these choices i agree with the guys above
I actually going to go against the grain and say Risk Analyst at Marsh McLennan. That role normally leads to a client-oriented brokerage type job after 2-3 years in. Being the #1 global insurance brokerage you are bound to meet with some ex-high finance guys to meet with and network with. I'm a big proponent of high level commercial insurance though because it's something that a non-target can break into easily, and yields a high reward while being very 'performance based' compensation. It's not unusual to see those commercial insurance brokers to be 150k+ around mid to late twenties. Not IB/PE/HF/etc. compensation but very good compared with a globally recognizable name on the resume and not the "traditional" applicant to MBA.
