Like big4 to IB? Also interested. If you’re working that much in big4 consulting, you might as well move to IB and make more money

Yes I’ve seen it several times. Depends on candidate and experience.

Wondering myself. Working on a M&A IT integration for a biotech JV

Just made the transition to IB at the analyst level

Networking hard as I can. Wouldn’t say it’s BB but top international bank

What do you think of your new role so far? Is it as interesting? Are you enjoying it?

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP. I worked so hard to break into IB, put up all the hours and even working 2am nights for weeks, learned a ton, and improved a lot along the way as the sole analyst yet this happens. I’m extra worried because it doesn’t seem there’s IB analyst positions out there. Im really hoping come January more positions come up but I’m just praying they don’t fire me until then. Anyone have general tips for this situation?

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?

hi all, currently have two offers:

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
