Can someone help me understand the pros and cons of MBB vs PE Ops (at A MF, think BS, KKR etc)? I'm looking into in terms of WLB, culture, personal growth, hierarchical-ness, comp, calibre (and attitude) of colleagues, respect (vs deals colleagues) etc.

I heard that in many funds ops teams are considered second class citizens vs deal team. I could see that pay is higher but not even close to the investment team

I have heard they are treated second class, but still can make good money / get carry in the long run (obviously lower than the investment team)

Similar underlying problem solving. Much less sales-focused BS and slide iteration, much better pay, much longer-term engagement with specific companies for PE vs consulting. Typically also much smaller and more stable team of colleagues (at VP and above PE is pretty stable, whereas MBB is built on 20%+ attrition)

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Would love any thoughts on my current situation. Worked 1 year at a T2 firm (EYP, OW, S&) and make the transition over to MBB 3 months ago.

While recruiting for MBB I was also doing off cycle GE recruiting. The process dropped off and resumed just a couple weeks ago and I’ve received an offer for this summer. Wondering if leaving after 6-8 months in MBB is too short or if I should just take the offer and run w it.

Thanks in advance.
