I’m having trouble evaluating if I should take a corporate finance/FP&A job that pays 180-210k (140k base) or a second year investment banking job for a MM bank that’s maybe 160-180 all in (110 base). The biggest question mark here is I’m trying to figure out if PE is something I want to do or if I want something cushy in 5-10 years and I’m struggling to figure that out for myself.
