Associate in BB at 30. Still worth it?
I'm in my early 30s and have been working as a quant dev for 5+ years. I was a VP in my previous role and brought in ~180k GBP. Wanting to get out of engineering, I went back to school to get myself an MBA. I was recently offered an Associate role in S&T at a BB in London, to eventually become part of a desk.
I'm wondering if it's still worthwhile moving down that road?
In addition to a downgrade in the role (associate instead of vp) and taking a massive pay cut the first year (brexit didn't help and I am unsure how long it will take me to reach my old salary again), I am a bit reluctant about whether the good old days on the trading floor will ever come back.
I would really like to hear your thoughts as well as experiences especially if you moved to S&T in your 30s.
Do you still feel fresh and exited when you wake up every morning?
Yes absolutely, with the right prize in sight that is.
Is this the most important consideration?
