I’m 27, came from a very non target and non trad background. Lateraled to a brand new no name investment bank at the beginning of the year so I could do m&a (was in muni / DCM before), sometimes I feel like I screwed myself working in the LMM doing $10-200M EV transactions but at the same time I’m on track to make $600k next year.

Should I even bother with the buyside / getting an MBA?

You have a what a lot of MBA’s who grind at big banks for years to exit to. Unless you really want the education and you’re dying to have it, it’s not worth it. At least FT anyways, get a PT MBA from a T30 school of you just want the education and have the free time. Stay at your job, and refer me to a role there pls

I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.

In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.

I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.

Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?
