Would it be worth it to look into switching from IB to Consulting?
Current first year in IB that looked heavily into consulting recruiting for both my junior summer internship and for FT. Didn't work timing wise after getting my IB internship offer first and not having the time to go through FT recruiting. My school was a target school for all the consulting firms but I was told they weren't accelerating cause of the COVID situation that summer. Not sure if I'm having a 'grass is greener' moment, but what I do know is I'm not particularly interested in a PE type exit. I I've been looking more into corp dev and potential start ups / strategic finance type options. Since I'm not dead set on PE, I was thinking consulting would provide a broader set of exit opportunities especially in the corporate world and my work-life would be better vs in banking. don't mind longer-ish hours but I think the weekends / "always being on" in banking makes it a lot less sustainable than doing consulting to me imo. Would it be worth looking into applying around the one year mark to make the switch? Currently at a "boutique" (not an EB by this site's definition but one of those independent advisory firms) and at the time of receiving my FT offer, I thought MBB obviously and most of the tier 2 consulting firms would be worth considering.
