Former quant / MBA / ex-Meta: what are my options?
Hey there, first post here.
I'm new here. I was a quant researcher in the market making desk for 5 years. I used to develop synthetic products for stuff that weren't available in most over the counter markets for specific clients.
Got sick of that and did a top 10 MBA program, then landed a Meta job corporate finance, where I were for about 6 years. My main expertise is Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) with some corporate strategy (go to market, new product expansion)
I was laid off and after I let my connections know, I'm getting pinged by banks. I have no clue what kind of job I could do there, and I definitely am not in my 20s to spend all night doing associate IB work (not to demeanor that, I just am not young anymore to crunch heavy excel sheets from 7am to 2am daily).
Anyway, any careers I could pursue? One thing that came to my mind is corporate finance in banks, but I don't know if I'd be able to get a similar compensation that I had before...
thoughts?
Cap markets in IB could be an option until tech settles and then move back.
Quant of some form, be it in trading, risk, research, or development at a bank or asset manager.
FP&A at another tech co sounds like the obvious choice
