Rather than asking for a 25% raise, I just spend my entire salary on items that are 20% off. Evens out right?

But in reality you did both. You spent $750 while saving $250. That's if you had already planned on buying this item.

Hi all,

I’m currently a risk consultant (~6 months) within financial services at PwC and very interested in IB for its work around strategy and finance. I was wondering if anyone can offer any insight on whether I should try and switch now while I’m early in my career (graduated in 2020) or should I aim to get into IB after MBA in 4-5 years? Thanks!
