Is it worth pursuing MBB post mba if I have B4 strategy experience Pre mba? I’m at a crossroads between MBB and IB, and feel like IB would widen my potential exits down the line

I think it depends on your exit goals a bit, but your rationale makes sense - you already have that consulting experience and toolkit under your belt.

I don’t know about exits down the line, but having switched to IB, one thing I can tell you - this will be your last chance (MBA) to switch into IB. There’s no lateraling into this career path. It’s very unheard of.

MBB has a wider array of exit opportunities in my experience than ibanking. Way better WLB also.

Any one know of pay difference between the two, responsibilities/expectations, how they are viewed in the org itself?
I understand they are different but in my job today, I handle both roles so can go in either direction.
Appreciate any input.
