all in comp at tech relative to if you had stayed in IB? e.g. is it more/same/less than if you'd stayed in banking. Presume equity may be a factor now?
What are the hours looking like for you these days?
What does a typical day look like for you?
Thanks - i remember seeing your thread about quitting a couple of years ago, so nice to see you're still ticking

How did you find your roles in tech? I'm currently in banking and I only get contacted about roles in PE and the occasional HF...
What is your job title/role?
What industry team were you in in IB and did it make a difference?

title was corporate development associate - but worked across the board on strategic initiatives int'l expansion / fundraising / data & analytics / new business lines - worked directly with CEO/CFO
I was in the consumer retail group - i don't think it made much difference, i was given a modeling test at interviews to LBO an industrials related company, so long as you're competent - new industries you can easily learn

pretty much harbours the same issues as banking for me.. really comes down to where on the spectrum of work life balance / interesting work vs. money you want to be at.

funnily enough had a mid-cap PE offer quite recently - 2 things, PE is banking v2 - long hours and you join as an associate at the bottom of the totempole so being mainly a process junkie..

Do you know of any other non-PE/HF/corp dev exit opps? Did you consider product management at a tech firm?

i'm sure anything that requires business related knowledge is pretty open to jr bankers - a lot of varied roles out there

Do you think it's better to do a master and then start as an associate? Bypass the analysts stage of long and boring hours.

The other thing is if you start as an associate their is greater expectation on you out the blocks and from what ive read MBA classes are getting smaller as they prefer to train up their own analysts nowadays.
