Trying to decide which path to pursue. IB experienced analyst or associate vs. A&M SA in TAG? Leaning towards A&M since it seems to be reasonably high compensation for much fewer hours than IB. Anyone who faced a similar decision, any thoughts would be appreciated!

Do you have offers or just wondering in general? If you don’t have offers at the moment I don’t see why you can’t pursue both at the moment to hedge your bets

Just wondering in general. That’s a good thought, may take this approach.

My only advice is determine how long of you a stint you plan to take in your next role.

If aiming for A&M TAG, I’d say you should reasonably plan to stay for 2-3 years at a minimum to really make the comp model worth it and account for up/down years.

you really think you ate

A&M all the way

IB

IB all the way man. You have much better exit ops and will learn way more than building QoE tables and NWC charts.

IB makes you more competitive for FP&A, Corp Dev, Investor Relations. Basically any job you can think of. Everyone has heard of Investment Bankers. Not every hiring manager knows what an M&A Financial Due Diligence Manager is.
