Accept Solid F100 Offer or Keep Looking?
I am a senior at a well regarded, but non-target, state school majoring in finance. I recently received an offer for a financial business analyst position at a F100 tech/manufacturing company. Offer is pretty good, about $79-$83k first year all in (including signing bonus, etc). The problem is that I only have three days left to accept or decline the offer, but I am not sure if starting my career in CF is a bad idea because I am interested in eventually ending up in MM buyside roles.
MBA is always an option, but I hear buyside recruiting with no prior IBD or buyside experience is a struggle. I would not feel good about reneging on the offer, so if I accept the offer, I will most likely follow through. Should I accept the offer or turn it down and keep looking?
What location is the F100
Coming out of college, I think you have to take the financial business analyst position. You can always try to break in after going back and getting your mba. I just think the offer is too good to pass up

It is one of the relatively large West Coast cities that is not in California.
It's a pretty good salary for a kid straight outta college ina. Non banking role. Didn't realise F100 paid so much from the get go
If you don't have a solid in at another company, I would take it. You certainly don't want to be kicking yourself later if you end up with something worse, and at your age there are plenty of things you can do to pivot away from CF and into something else.
You take it and you can keep looking... People renege all the time
If I were in your shoes I'd take the offer. That salary is pretty good and youre still doing something relevant to finance so those skills would still be transferrable if you decide to switch careers after some time. And I assume work/life balance isnt too bad.
