At mbb, are there certain types of studies I should try to be on to make the transition to PE ops more feasible. Guessing operation studies or transformations? I have a manufacturing background. About to start at an mbb.

Actually a mix between strategy / due diligence and operational transformations. The PE Ops job first requires determining what is going to create value (which is more of a strategy / diagnostic skill set) and then making it happen through the execution (which is more of a transformation skill set)

Hey Friends, need help!! I am a developer with 1.6 YoE, got placed on-campus (NIT), can code well in Java and Python, but want to move into an analyst type role as I am not sure if I can be a good 'developer'.
Is it an ideal move for a long career, or if I want to do an MBA in future?
If so, could you please suggest how to prepare for such roles in good companies?
