Starting pay and training at small vs large corporations?
I'm graduating with my MS Finance in a few months and am looking for work in a corporate finance role (ideally FP&A or Treasury). I have been determined to get a job at a F500 due to higher advancement potential, and the possibility of relocating to numerous other locales. However, are there advantages to working at smaller/private companies? How does pay and training compare to what is typically offered at larger corporations? Other benefits/differences?
Hi George-Vuxton, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
You're welcome.
Do you have any professional work experience? Is the MScF a bolt on to your undergrad (meaning stayed an additional year to get the degree?)
Larger corps - Generally higher pay but not always, more room to advance, more opportunities for mentorships, better training programs, generally better benefits, easier to jump to other companies
Smaller Companies - more flexible, potential for larger impact - there are some cons here tho - namely it will be more difficult to land a role at a larger company, resources are more limited, may have to wear many hats.
I have been out of undergrad for 7 years now (mostly working entry-level jobs unrelated to finance) and am getting my MS Finance for a jump into the finance industry.
If this is your first gug...brand matters. Go with F500.
