Those in Corp Strategy & Development (esp those in Tech/ESG) would you say it provides better work life balance for decent pay at the associate level? How much does company size matter? Think it’s my number 1 exit opp

Bumping for visibility. I hope you find the answers you're looking for!

Thanks a ton!

So, here's the thing. I think that coming from IB, you're likely to fee a little gut-punched by the salary offerings in strat and dev. They're not as competitive. Period. That said, the difference is less drastic at an associate level than in higher management roles, so if you're going to make the switch, I'd do it before you get used to IB salaries. All that said, the wlb is really nothing but amazing after IB, and that (to me) is worth its weight in gold. There's an article here that's really thorough on exploring pros and cons. Hope it helps. Matches my experience about 95%. https://mergersandinquisitions.com/corporate-development-careers/

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?

Does anyone or know of any finance professionals that have exited to go work in the music industry or entertainment?

I really enjoy finance and banking but a part of me wants to know if the music business/clients/development is a possible exit opportunity when I’m older and have put in my time in finance. Thanks!
