I’m currently at pwc outside of US in valuations / transaction advisory. Curious as to how respectable this pathway is from a US viewpoint in terms of transitioning to IB in the future.

It is doable, but you need a strong hiring market where banks are unable to hire laterally from other banks and have to resort to Corp Dev or TS to broaden the pool. Easier at lower MM and MM firms than BBs or EBs.

For me, the path was never how I’d have imagined right out of college. Started in audit at EY, transitioned for a short stint in TAS, with which combined the combined experiences, opened the door for me to enter the turnaround & restructuring industry. After about a year, next thing I know I was recruited into a hybrid role in distressed private equity and special situations IB. With the timing of this transition, things picked up immediately and never slowed down. The demand in this general industry group is exploding as of late (for obvious reasons).

3 years in audit, 1.5 years in TAS and 1 year at a boutique restructuring shop primarily focused on out-of-court workouts.
