Best Post MBA exits you’ve seen from banking? About a year into the job at an EB and planning to head out after my ASO2 bonus, curious what exits people have seen recently. Is going directly into a strategy role possible?

Why do you want to leave? I’ve seen corp dev and strategy for what it’s worth.

What type of strategy roles?

Good luck leaving! At an EB right now and people are dying to leave and also dying in the job with the hours. Job market since 2022 has been absolute trash.

If you really wanna leave would pivot away from best exit to what the market is giving you. It’s definitely a buyer’s job market right now (i.e. companies are in the driver’s seat)

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
