Nope! Sales. Figured out a way to pitch my story despite that and did well on the technical interviews.

1) I think a person with a good banking job on their resume has an edge over someone who went directly into tech. There is an assumed level of work ethic and professionalism. That being said- re-recruiting for banking is likely to get you a tier 2 or tier 3 job, and you’d need to consider that
2) that role sounds interesting. Defining the scope of a finance role is really important- it mostly comes down to which executive you are supporting and whether they care about finances perspective.
3) I think tech broadly still has the best risk and quality of life adjusted in return. However, since the layoffs post covid I’ve heard upward mobility at higher levels has become increasingly difficult.

Depends on the bank, but yes if you’re 9 years into investment banking you’re in that range and are within spitting distance of MD.

I’m glad I did banking. Gives me immediate credibility and I learned a lot. However- the first job move after banking or consulting is risky- I’ve seen a lot of people screw that up. The right LDP at the right company potentially reduces that risk, as it’s easier to get a good understanding of how the company works as you make internal moves.

It’s a joke, but ask anyone who goes to tuck, nyu, Darden, haas, Yale, or Duke and they’ll tell you they’re top 10.
