Help, is IB a Career Worth Pursuing Out of College?

I'm a 2nd-year Finance student at a top 30 Business School in the Twin Cities (Nothing close to Ivy-worthy). I'm near the point where I need to decide on a career path, does anyone have any advice on pursuingIB, Public Accounting at the Big 4, Consulting, or Corporate Finance? I need some career advice from any business professionals who would advise themselves on a career path when they were 19-20 yo.

Thank you, any help is so very much appreciated.

您能详细说明吗?仅仅是因为大约30美元/小时的薪酬和职业机会吗?我真的很好奇,如果值得一提的是疯狂的小时和生活方式混乱...

IBis a huge grind to get into especially from a non-target. Pay is nice but I don't think anyone is sitting there at 3am saying "gee whiz, at least I make six figures formatting power points". Opens a lot of doors career-wise and generally only a 2-year commitment.

Big 4 accounting is popular at my school, lifestyle is better thanIBand they all compete with each other to be the best place to work. You won't make six figures until at least 5-7 years out of college. Career options are more limited thanIBbut you can do financial analysis type roles forever.

I don't know much about consulting or corp finance. If you have time this summer or fall you might benefit from calling some school alumni in each role to get their thoughts on what direction you want to go in.

The thing withIBis that most people do it for the Exit opportunities. The same is true with BIG 4 accounting. During tax season you work a lot, sometime comparable toIB薪水较少,但在您的简历中拥有4巨头会给您退出机会。公司财务有点像IB,更灵活但退出机会更少,咨询良好,入门级较难,您工作很多小时,但比IB. So to answer the question yesIB是一个值得从大学毕业的职业(我认为,在职业生涯中,您的意思是留在银行并达到MD水平。)

主持人注意(安迪):这是由Firmex. It's targeted toward those considering a career in investment banking, highlighting the reality of the profession. Drawing on some stats fromWSO, as well as other sources, it includes everything from starting salaries (in comparison to other careers), annual bonuses, hours worked and typical career progression.

每年,成千上万的最聪明的头脑,从the world's best schools, decide to venture into the world of Investment Banking. Entering the competitive world of high finance has some clear advantages; great pay, high-profile deals and phenomenal training.

But, it's definitely not a career choice for the faint hearted. Intense pressure to get the deal done, and long hours, means that personal and leisure time are often sacrificed. And while tremendous rewards await those that reach the top, it's a very steep climb to get there.

JDimon, 你怎么看?以下评论:

嗯,只有1%的银行家曾经加入MD?我认为Bankeralla的数据中有33%的员工将其授予MD(如果假设33%的分析师都将其交往,则意味着11%的分析师最终成为MDS,或者是9个。。MBAand later return to banking as associates)

多少钱IBDworth?(最初发布:2009年12月1日)

I'm at a boutique for banking and I was wondering, if one truly wants to be a banker, is it worth giving up different jobs but at "better" firms? I personally moved out of a top BB'sPWMto be where I am today but I was wondering what the board thought about this.

For example, would it make sense to take Piper JaffrayIBDover Citi S&T? How about Goldman S&T?

那呢?HLHZ/Harris WilliamsIBDover MBB?

The obvious answer is that it really depends on what you enjoy and what your futre goals are (i.e. exit opps). If you want to work inIBwhat would be the benefit of working inPWM或者S&T即使工作在更精英的地方?如果您想成为一名大学篮球运动员,您会在高中时打曲棍球吗?
