£50k TC, 2.6YoE working within the change arm of a bank ——- what do experienced fishes think is a good next move for someone like myself? Might want to move into consulting one day with ultimate aim of MBB but also enjoy technical coding work, particularly in credit risk / counterparty credit risk in banking — could use some fresh perspective ; quite confused atm as interested in many things! Don’t mind staying in change management either TIA - appreciate any advise

Move to consulting sooner rather than later

Thanks M1 - will keep in mind

I would also consider how easy it is to move around in your current bank. Would they facilitate a secondment to a technical coding team? Or to another team you are interested in? You can gain a breadth of experience in consulting but there is always pressure of filling a vacancy on a project quickly that is in need of your skillset, it’s not a sweet shop. There’s like an internal market for staff and projects once your in with both sides having leverage.

Thanks D1 - I think I hear what you’re saying, could get placed on projects based on need rather than own interests, with an internal “placement” market to navigate (would have to network, sell self well etc)

You’re right and I have been looking into lateral transfers within the bank itself as well - the only reservation I currently have around that is that a lateral transfer would very likely mean a much smaller pay rise comparatively to a jump to a different organisation (+ will hopefully gain some diverse organisation related experience by jumping)


...maybe this is the way after all , if I can first figure out what to lateral/jump into!

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
