Chance to move from RE to Internal M&A - confused
Hi guys
Quick explanation. After my master degree I got a finance job at a small start-up, was borring back-office but had a hard time finding something nice as my grades/experience wasn't that nice. Wanted to break in to something more nice/prestigious as IB, corporate finance etc. to build a nice resume and doing something I like. Got a chance to join PwC Real Estate Corporate, have been there nearly a year as an associate.
I like PwC and the fact that the job is front-office (I am very extrovert, like dynamic workplaces, sales etc.) but my team is not doing very well and the deals we are working on are the ones our competitors don't want and we do more advisory projects than corporate finance, so I miss working with more finance related tasks even though I also find consulting/advisory nice.
I was contacted by a global multinational (5xxth largest company in the world) and asked to join there M&A/Investment department. Have final interview/case next week.
I've always wanted to work with IB, corporate finance, M&A, IM etc. but haven't had the grades, experience, top tier business school etc. So I really see this as a great chance, but I am really not sure if I should make the jump:
-
Is it too early? Should I rather stay at PwC and see if I get promoted this summer. I work my ass off and I am doing quiet good IMO.
-
Is internal M&A a step away or closer to corporate finance/IB/M&A and should I expect it to be back-office or middle office? I like the fact that there is travelling activity involved in the job.
-
Should I rather stay in RE and try something else than PwC? I like real estate as a investment, but I haven't found a deep passion for it yet. Maybee it is just the fact that it is in PwC and we are working on boring deals/projects. I was also approached by BlackRock recently, but in the Portfolio Support team, which seemed to be very back-office.
Any suggestions is would be appreciated.
Can you explain more about what you do at PWC? I’m thinking you are in an audit role for real estate firms as outside counsel but could be way off.
