Assuming you’re working at a strategic vs. a sponsor?

Yeah, ok so a strategic. Your exit opps are likely: IR at a bigger shop, potential advisory roles,e.g., a PJT Camberview, some c-Suite type of role

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
