Hi all, would appreciate your insight please! I’m returning from a year in non-traditional work; was hoping to get some opinions on companies I should target. Right now thinking Citi, BR, etc

In brief:
- 7 years in investment & corporate banking, split remit in deal chasing + relationship management. Managed operations teams for projects including IPOs and corporate actions.
- 2 years as a senior sales & partnerships manager. Reviewed deals for sales strategy.
- 1 year out, opened a restaurant!

Context- my team was acquired and moved internationally; I decided not to go. Instead spent the year consulting on small projects (ETFs, M&A deals) and something cool which was helping my friends set up a new restaurant. Now I’m ready to go back to full time.

I think with your background you could consider targeting companies with strong cross-functional roles, like corporate strategy or business development. Firms like Citi, BR, or even fintech companies could be great fits! Have you looked into any of those big orgs?

Thank you! I’m thinking along the same lines, but wanted to make sure I didn’t miss any names and am always open to suggestions because I’ve been technically out of the game for a year. I have friends at Citi and JPM to refer and hoping for BR since I used to sell to them, but I know it’s a tough market right now.

Anyone looking at traveling to Costa Rica? They have a list of states from which they will admit tourists while also requiring a negative covid test, health history, etc. As someone not on the approved list, I am bitter and curious why the population is grouped at a state level when there are massively different rates of infection within each state (not to mention personal responsibility) and you are already required to present a negative test. Any idea how often those lists get updated?
