Have been in a Corp Strat seat for nearly a year now — love my job/team but the industry I work for is on the more mundane side. Looking down the road (a few years time), how hard is it to switch between industries? Particularly from non-tech to tech/retail?

Hey guys, really need your help about the career goal choice: IBD or commodity trading. Recently just got admitted by ESSEC in France(Grande école) IBD: Higher comps even in junior level, more structured pathway. Also more competitive in the recruitment, shitty hours.

Just thought I'd start a thread for people looking at 2024 FT new grad. Will there even be opportunities? Never heard back from that popped up despite a very competitive profile.
Some context: I'm in a competitive Econ program in a top-tier Canadian school on the west coast, and moved out here in 2019 for uni. I'm now in my last semester, graduating with SaaS start-up sales and sustainable finance (emissions work, not actual finance) experience, and very little in the way of...

Hey guys, I have an offer for a Corporate Finance position in a MFPE. Obviously I know it's not going to be as good as an internship on the deal side, but I'm wondering if it'll nonetheless be a worthwhile experience. I'm also weighing this between a potential opportunity to intern at my university...

I’m a recent grad working as a development analyst making about $105k all in. I made the mistake of talking to my friends in IB about this who have $75k+ saved because of their bonus. Although real estate pays well I think it’s clear to everyone that it doesn’t pay nearly as much - especially...

Mid BB HC coverage and I am not a fan of the healthcare industry. I got stuck with it through group placement and while it isn't bad as a banker I eventually want to move to a buy-side/investing-type role and I can't imagine doing that in HC. I don't like the ethics of PE in an industry where there...
Hi all, I was fortunate enough to get an SA 2024 IB offer at a large NYC bank a few months ago, and have been stressing about my background check that is coming in the next few months due to how I presented my educational path on my resume. Here is the situation: Last fall, I transferred from a...
Buy side commodity trader here. Been on the hunt for a buy side FI trading role. Originally, I was targeting hedge funds and landed a role back in august on an ABS desk as an assistant (yes I’m ok with taking a step backward).

I joined a start-up private equity firm at the associate level (came with some prior investing experience). Before I joined, and part of the reason for my switch, is because I was promised better work life balance (due to low deal volume target per year) and path to senior associate. Less than 10...
I'm a student in college so pardon if this is a dumb question but are the markets that macro strategies (rates, currencies, gold, etc) play in less efficient than equities markets? There's a couple reasons I ask this, in no particular order: 1. The path to become a macro investor has much less...
