Investment management / wealth management, Fortune 500 Finance / FP&A gigs, strategic finance, M&A advisory roles or internal corporate development function, investor relations (need prior IB or M&A / bizdev type experience), finance roles at growth stage / VC backed companies. That’s pretty much it besides core IB / PE / HF / asset management gigs.

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?
