Worth it

Well worth it, even at Manager/SM grade it’d be worth jumping to analyst at MBB given less than 2-years later you’ll be earning as much as a D at big4

like

5 YOE since grad, jumped around no missed promotions. I’d like to work at MBB but have struggled to get anywhere with applications

Defo worth it

My dream

Absolute no brainer. Surely you’d be on more pay anyway as Entry level MBB

Go for it

Just do it, I have a couple of friends that did (and I referred one) and they haven’t looked back

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?
I recently transitioned from public to private sector finance to be more well-rounded and I’m having a hard time connecting with people in the space. I work for a fund admin in the digital asset space for HF & PE/VC firms and I noticed how much “bro culture” seems to impact the industry. Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.

I have a bit of a wild question about leaving a position and starting another one. A while back I was invited to speak at a conference, which I’m excited to do. Since the invitation though I’ve been looking to exit my current position. Would it be inappropriate to have my last week of work be the week of the conference? I’m concerned if I leave before I won’t get to attend (current job is paying for my attendance) but if it wasn’t a factor I’d probably leave 2 weeks from now lol
