That’s a nice idea. But does IB hire finance talent from outside IB/VC/PE?
Good luck (mostly sincere, partially sarcasm).
You’ll always find a job if you look hard enough and are not focused on the Goldmans, Centerviews, Evercores, etc.
But if you’re targeting there, go do your MBA as that’s really the only real way you’ll get in if you don’t have existing IB experience.
It’s going to depend on where you go. You’re going to have trouble getting in anywhere that isn’t a small LMM boutique in todays environment, where hours (and pay) will vary from pretty good (like IBA1’s experience) to more in the ~80/week zip code.
Go into a different sector within a bank? I work in technology at Citi and work 40 hours per week i have done since ive joined 4 years ago, and had no bank experience before then (did work in fintech for a tech vendor). The salary is excellent, maybe not what IBD people earn, but i would say the trade off in hours and happiness is worth it.
I'm working 50 hours a week consistently. A lot of 9 hour days, and then typically 4-5 hours every weekend. It's something that I can handle for the next couple of years but I wouldn't want this balance long term. It's just something I'm doing right now while I am single and younger
