If you ask very nicely (I.e. get into an M7)

It’s incredibly common if you go to one that’s targeted for recruiting

So I did go to an M7 but during my program ai was not interested in IB and now I’m almost done with my program I am interested

OP are you saying you’re a second year and would like to do FT recruiting? If that’s the case and you did zero IB internship recruiting in your 1st year then the EB/BB/MM options are out. You’re gonna have to start way downstream in LMM and hopefully network your way in. Ideally you did something finance related for your summer internship and most importantly you got a return offer.

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?
