Future bankers- what are your back up plans?

In the case that you don't manage to get a front office job, what are you thinking of going into?

I'm not quite sure yet...

For big4, go for KPMG. They pay the best. PwC might be more prestigious though.

Not bad thinking. I know of atleast one rep at work who made 60k in total within her first year. Being in an industry with exponential growth, I can imagine she'll make more and more. However, realise that being a sales person or consultant will mean a lot of travelling.
