If the pay you got for VP is similar to B4 SM then it can’t be IBD. IBD VP should be making like 450k-500k all in.

A more competitive comparison would be EM/PL at MBB

SM.
VP you'll get stagnant. And unless it's an investment side division like GS or MS, you'll have better prospects of jumping after few years as SM.

SM at Big 4 only if your goal is to make PP. otherwise, don’t take that SM offer.

Possibly but not yet. I guess it’s the same concern with making director from the SM big 4 role

SM is better if you're set on partner track. IB middle office if you're ready to exit now.
