Which job offer would you take

Which job offer would you take? I am not interested in IB long term, mostly just interested for the exit opps it provides. I see myself working a few years doing an MBA then working in Corp dev/Corp strat or Corp fin long term.

Offer 1: FP&A at a FAANG
All in comp first year ~110k

Offer 2: IB at CS

This is hypothetical at this point because I will be interning at one of these companies this summer, and the other one I interned at before, so believe I have a strong chance of securing a FT offer.

 
Most Helpful

IB at CS. It’s generally better for your career to pick a role that is revenue-generating for the company that you’re working at instead of picking a supporting role (I.e front office IB at a bank instead of back office). For tech, the software team is generally revenue-generating, especially for FAANG. FP&A would work to support the ‘financial planning’ that comes from these products that the SWE team is working to create.

Regardless, I think most people on this forum would be biased to suggest the IB job anyway, but I think that rationale is supported by this logic. If this was FAANG SWE, I’d say it would be a tougher choice. Just my opinion

 
Funniest

GO TO CS AND YOU CAN PRETEND YOURE DOING COMPUTER SCIENCE, pick cs
