I used to do valuation before switching to a more consulting roll in TAS. Its definitely a more technical focus. While it can be more interesting, I think it would be tough for me to be a middle office function again. You never travel and you juggling a ton of clients (including Audit clients). I think the pay is better than advisory, but I am unsure of that. I know people who have moved to boutique banks/PE as well as middle office functions as BB banks. Offhand, I don't know anyone that has moved to front office at a BB, though I'm sure there must have been one.

Valuation is unique regarding exit ops, you can exit a lot of ways if you network well, but there is no clear path. You develop a great skill set that is very useful, could get you a CorpDev role or mid tier IB if you network well. Also know of a few folks who got into M7 with the valuation background.

Also, practices vary by firm, I travel 75-80% of the time and do very little audit work.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Many thanks.
