I’m accepted into a T10 MBA in the states and am thinking of a move to FO IB. I currently work in FP&A on tech side for MS/GS. Although this is back office would it help at all, or does it not really matter to them in recruiting?

All that matters is your story of why IB. I will say GS is notorious for not taking people from their back office though but you should have no issue landing an IB job as long as you prepare and network

like

MS/GS are not necessarily the best places - Evercore, PJT are just as good, if not better, platforms. If you’re T10, assuming you don’t really mess things up, you’ll be well positioned for most EB/BBs

Yeah I’ve been thinking on EBs as well. Evercore, Centerview etc..

Thank you.

So I’m planning on leaving my position before school starts, but the application and interview process has been slow. At this point I’m afraid I won’t find a job until late July.

Unfortunately, it’s a terrible position and there has not been a lot of interest in it in the past.
