Which banks? And how many YOE and what was TC first year in IB?

You can switch to a middle market investment bank pretty easily, or at least get your foot in the door. Ideal time to switch is after 1 year of experience. After 2 years it’ll be near impossible without MBA.

Yes, especially from a valuation background. Me and a fair amount of my friends have.

Definitely possible. Made the transition about 6 months ago. Happy to answer any questions.

No referral. A lot of networking + casting a wide net when applying. Overall I'm happy with the move it's fast paced and you learn a lot in a very short time.
Cons: the hours are no joke and sometimes it feels like it's more of a banking culture more than a necessity to stay up late working

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?
