Got an offer for mortgage product controller associate at JPM. From what I can tell this is a dead end job? My other offer is an FDD role for a medium sized health care consulting firm with lots of room to grow.

Not sure what mortgage product controller entails exactly, unfortunately.

However, I did FDD for 3 years after public audit. It was basically glorified accounting, but you do learn a lot and the job isn’t as boring as audit.

Either way, if you can handle the potential long hours depending on the firm, FDD is more worth it in my opinion for the better exit opportunities than the other option.

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school? I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.
