After a year of MF PE experience, I've been informally offered Associate 2/3 roles from my existing network within EBs (PJT/EVR/CVP)
Are you taking/considering the offer? Know anyone who did take it?
Going to a MF in a year myself; a bit concerned about leaving the devil I know and wonder if I will want to return to IB down the road. Sounds like you have great options. Do you know how hard it is in general to go from a MF to a top BB or an EB?
