How do you think consulting and investment banking differ in terms of the daily work? I feel like so many newer consultants want to exit to IB, because of the pay and “prestige”, but the work itself doesn’t sound all that exciting, especially at the more junior levels.

I’ve never met a consultant who wants to exit to IB. It’s always PE/VC/HF/Big Tech

What draws you to want to go to IB, AC1?

More money more problems. 99 problems but a ____ ain’t one

That’s spot on!

a lot of the people I started with have gone into PE - I think the analytics and exit opps are the main drivers, and the $$$. its a LOT more work, but more $$$ too

They pay is very good in PE, especially if you get equity. I think what WLB is a little better than IB and the work is much more interesting, albeit demanding.
