Currently in FDD, finally received an analyst offer where I’ll be focused in healthcare. I have no healthcare experience, but really wanted to break into IB to get my foot in the door. Is this smart, or is healthcare a sector where you’ll pigeon whole yourself? (Currently have this problem in with my focus in FS)

It could pigeon hole you if you stay for multiple years. Get a 1-2 years experience and then start looking for generalist roles (or any other sector you feel you want to stay in long term). If you stay too long you will be perceived as an industry specific banker - but hey, healthcare isn’t a bad spot to land, especially if you can focus on large pharmaceutical deals, etc., Good luck!

why do you think it would pigeon hole you?

I don’t think it will, just unfamiliar with the industry and its exits so I’m curious
