Sounds exactly like ubs. I’d say evaluate how far you are in your career. Seems like something that someone 1-2 years out of b school would see as a step up vs anyone with experience lateral or down move

Line management or ops roles probably. Don't do it if you're looking to get into IB

Hmm.. ok yeah. So use it as a step into more operational / commercial role.

Is DB hiring? I would go there.

I want to join a start up in my industry but I need to rescind a job acceptance from a more establish company. I resigned from my old job and didn’t start the new job yet. Is the non compete I signed, as part of the job offer acceptance for the position with the bigger company, enforceable if I rescind my job acceptance before I actually start a new job? I don’t think it is. I didn’t receive a sign on bonus so no additional consideration was exchanged from my understanding of my law classes.
