Soon to be MBA grad. I have an MSF and a year experience in consulting. How do I pivot to IB? I want to do more financial modeling. Are there WFH opportunities?

If a bank lets you WFH it’s a joke not a bank

IIRC, I think Citi is pretty okay with WFH. I think some MM are, too, depending on thr office amd group. That said, I'm headed to GS, and trust me, you do not want to ask them that question

And make sure you have a backup option, because you're very late in the FT MBA recruiting timeline for most of the banks you would have heard of

I mean your best shot was to do internships during your MBA but your post makes it sound like that didn’t happen. You can still shoot for middle market / regional banks and then lateral from there

Also tbh you really don’t want to work from home if you want to have any success in IB. It’s a major PITA trying to teach new analysts / associates and you end up not getting as much experience as you would in person

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company.

How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
