Leaving IB as an associate and looking at buyside IR/fundraising opportunities. Thoughts on taking a “demotion” to be an analyst? Does title even matter, should I be thinking more about the comp?

If it’s what you want to do, go for it. I’m planning on leaving next year and understand I’ll have to take a hit to comp but expect a better lifestyle.

My older brother took a pre-MBA role after banking (which he did post-MBA). While he did take a big pay cut he now works 40hrs making $300k doing basically what you want to do.

Yeah you’ll have to take a comp hit but as IBA1 said your wlb will dramatically improve.

I’d try to avoid taking a title cut but take a look at the team and see if that’s common for new joiners

Also, not sure if you’re like me post mba in my early 30s but if you’re and A to A promote you’re probably much younger. You can step back a year in title and be ok.

Yes I am an A to A promote and have been thinking stepping back now is easier
