Started my MBA at 36, opportunities have definitely opened since. The network alone was worth it for me.
IB at 33? Not hard. I did it and got into top 3.
Oh nice 👍 so would you say it was the right decision?
B1, if financial was one of my reasons, I would've never went to bschool. I was in a great place in consulting and wouldve had a great life... But that's not I wanted.
Following
Financially, no. But if you want, you should do it. I think its more of a luxury good at that point.
Pwc how tough would you say it is to break into IB at that age?
Newco can you give me a little more info like what your stats were prior -undergrad school, major, gpa, work experience, and mba school?
D1, did top 10 state school, double major. Worked for 9 years in consulting before deciding to go to bschool (early promo and about 3-4 years out from making partner/md when I decided to quit). 720 and at top 7 MBA program
Yeah. It fits me better. Sucks I realized it late in the game but no regrets so far
Newco - I’m in the same boat. Been in Consulting for 9yrs and now going to a top MBA this fall. Did you always plan to pivot to IBanking? What other career paths did you consider?
Nope. I was looking into startups and tech in general so did an internship to see if I would like it... Then I realized I like professional services so pivoted to IB since I didn't want to go back to consulting
How do you like the IB grind? Hours? Life? You like working with 25 yr old Associates? Do you plan on sticking around IB or transitioning to something else?
Is newco your current firm?
IB is not bad. done worse grinding before so I set my bar low when I joined. I don't mind younger associates. We hang out a lot and became great friends.
And nope newco isn't my current firm. My profile hasn't been updated since I quit
@Newco1 - thanks for the perspective. curious, what are your hours like? How long do you plan on staying in IB?
If you can get a merit scholarship, the financial reason is moot.
Are hours in banking really as bad as things I’ve heard. Do you still have an opportunity to sleep at least 7 hours a night on average? And have one or two nights off a week?
Hours are not bad. I've always slept 4-6 hrs ever since I started working. I like it a lot so probably stay for awhile. @A1, we have protected Saturdays but it all depends if you are on a live deal or not
I’d collapse and/or feel like shit constantly if I was only sleeping 4-6 hours a night. That can’t be good for your medium or long term health.
