I have two offers : a) IB first year analyst at a BB firm 50k base; b) 70k consultant role at a life science consultancy - is it stupid to go for the IB ? For reference, the 20K extra translates into 1K after tax monthly income

Can live without - what worries me is that I’ll be competing against 21 year olds coming out of college. It’s a bit demoralising....

Which life science firm? I would lean towards IB with room to grow. WLB may be the same depending on LS company

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing.
