IB vs FIG Corp Dev out of undergrad
Hoping someone can provide some thoughts on a couple of options I'm currently presented with. I'm currently heading into my junior year with 2 internship offers that could potentially lead to FT jobs when I graduate.
First one is MM IB and the other one is Corp Dev at a BB bank. I would be the first junior to join the Corp Dev team there (everyone else joined with prior work exp) so not sure what comp would look like but hours would obviously be much better. The group is very active and heavily focused on M&A deals for the bank.
Can anyone speak as to pros/cons/exit options from these opportunities?
I think my long term interest is to end up in Corp Dev and transition to more of an Ops/management role, but I don't think I want to be in FIG. Does it still make sense to take the Corp Dev gig or am I better off working through IB because it gives me better options later?
Thanks
dw_11, sorry there are no responses yet. Maybe one of these topics can point you in the right direction:
Or maybe the following WSO members have something to say: Puntambekar mkbuffalo @Merchant_of_Debt"
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
When you say MM, are you talking about like Jefferies/DB or HSBC/Nomura?
More like a Jefferies/DB
I'd run with the MM; it most likely wont be super hard to lateral if you still want to in a year.
