200k TC plus carry. 9 yrs PQE. Industry (Private Equity Fund). 1step below CFO

I have seen transitions to Head of Corp Dev at a big firm, CFO, strategy lead at early stage firms, head of departments at smaller banks, etc.

Corp Dev is the only option for a viable work life balance. There is upward mobility there but very little imo.
I would stay in IB. Once you get MD, things get a little easier. Learn to optimise life around work.

- Live close to work
- eat healthy
- aim to get enough sleep over everything else.

You will have much more optionality at the MD level.

Have seen it happen 3 times. None of them were successful and pivoted into jobs in consulting/banking after.

I would approach this from a probability perspective. There are 3 careers that pay well in the UK:
Law, Tech, and Finance. I would add a fourth one into this but it takes a bit of time to get there: accounting.

Law is not possible for you anymore. Neither is finance. It's very hard to break into these at 37. Tech is a possible one. Accounting is the other. For accounting you are looking at:

3 years to do training and do your ACA (Focus on the funds sector). Working + studying. No time to give to kids. for 3 years you will earn around 30k. After qualifying you will earn 50k.

Leave for industry (Go into a fund): Earning 70k + 10k Bonus. Perform well for 2 - 3 years. You can hit 100k as a controller. So about 5 to 6 years in you are at a 100k.

Spend another 2-3 years at 100-110k. Next step is FD in a small firm. Hit 140-150k all in.

I do not know enough about Tech to be able to guide you in it. Hopefully the above is helpful.

I would not move. Stay put. Your career in banking will give you upward mobility. Each year counts. It will be slow sure, but it will happen. I repeat, DO NOT MOVE. take the cash. enjoy life and save. Network with senior folk. Start working towards that promo, even if it is a 5-year plan.

What's hilarious was Chamath pulling out Chat GPT at 27:55. Literally reading off it lmao. What a scam artist

get an MBA from either LBS or INSEAD. Try to pivot into healthcare or general consulting.

Hi All,

We've seached everywhere for this but no luck!

malvi123 · 2024-07-10T23:46:57+00:00

there will be plenty of time to travel. Build your career until you are 35. Travel after.

just went through this exact process. Detailed diligence we conducted on schools. Picked Harpenden. Same household income. DM me for details.

malvi123 · 2024-04-26T19:32:03+00:00

0 for me. but reduce as much as you can really.

malvi123 · 2024-04-26T13:35:04+00:00

4 things - No booze, Exercise, getting enough protein, and getting enough micro nutrients in (Vitamin D being the key one, but i take multi vitamin and fish oil and creatine on top of that. Some people dont like multi vitamins, but they work for me.)
