Would love to hear anyones thoughts on this…recent MBA graduate in quant finance. I’ve got two job offers. One from a regional boutique investment bank as a senior analyst and one from PwC DDV senior associate. The IB job off is less than half what PwC is offering me. I wanted to know if taking such a low paying IB job is better for the future than taking PwC DDV offer? Any exit ops for PwC DDV? And I’ve always wanted to get into IB and finally here’s my opportunity. What would you do?

How many YOE do you have? Why is the IB not bringing you in as an associate? An offer less than half of PwC’s raises some questions.

I think the DDV group is solid: always lots of work to do. It’s mostly PMO, PMI, and FDD. Not sure about exit ops.

I have about 5 YOE but in biz/corp dev in the biotech/pharma sector, a year as an analyst in management consulting.

Zero formal finance/banking experience. They are offering to fast track me to associate after 6mo.
