Switching from Equity research to M&A

Hi guys,
Need your advice considering that i have a recent MBA from good school
Taking a job in BB as ER for 55k GBP vs taking a job in M&A as an analyst in BB for 40k GBP.
Ideally would like to work in M&A.
How difficlut is to switch from ER to M&A? If I work in ER, can I switch to M&A at associate level? Consider the bonus option in the two roles and illuminate me please.

There is not a single budge bracket firm that pays investment banking analysts $40,000. You need to get your story straight and repost your question. Furthermore, why would you be entertaining the idea of taking an analyst position if you have an MBA?

 

I am almost sure he quoted salaries in GBP. From what I know and correct me if I'm wrong, the move isn't unheard of, specially if you prove yourself in a specific sector and can demonstrate more skills outside the financial analysis. The skills from either job can be transferable, however the output is different.

One question, if it's a good MBA, how come you don't go straight to associate level for the M&A job? Because I'm sure that salary in ER is for associate level.

 

This person is a fucking retard and probably can't even tie his own shoes in the morning. Don't bother - he's probably lying anyway.
