It was a learning curve for sure! The recruiting process focused a lot on my deal experience, but I found the day-to-day more relationship-driven than I expected. You’ll be juggling a lot of networking, but it’s rewarding if you enjoy strategy

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
