Start FT at Mid-Tier BB vs. Masters at LBS/LSE/HEC

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate some advice from some of you more senior monkeys regarding what I should do:

最近招募后,我收到了2021年FToffer from a mid/low tierBBin Londonand am also in a position to pursue a Finance Masters at a top business school (LBS/LSE/HEC). Barring factors such as location difference, what do you think is the better approach?

I am extremely fortunate to have aFToffer in current economic climate. However, I am almost certain theFTposition will begin with WFH, and this is something that is really putting me off since the exposure, learning and general life is nothing like normal IB at the desk.

I'd start at the lowerBB. Very limited upside in pursuing the MFin while the downside and opportunity costs are huge.

探索相同的Q,但MM咨询公司 - 您是否会从伦敦的一家中端市场(MFA/MIF路线)中获得报价?

Brand name isn't very well established but has consistently ranked highly in terms of deal flow inMM空间

Take theFT优惠...参加LBS/LSE/HEC is not a guarantee of aIBFToffer atGS/JP/多发性硬化症。在低/中期,您肯定有机会横向BB.

Taking theFToffer would definitely be the wiser choice. As mentioned above, plenty of opportunities to move to other banks after the one year mark, and the room for improvement from a mid-tierBBis quite limited versus the time & money commitment these masters would require.

FWIW, my mid-tierBBhas plenty of grads from all three schools you mentioned - it's just one data point, but take it as a sign that if you enrol in the master, you may end up with a similar offer to the one you have currently in your hands...
