EB vs BB?
Hi IBD fishes, how much does an associate make in an EB? I know someone who left a senior manager role from one of the B4 consulting (making 200k+) to join an EB as only an associate (MBA pivot). does that make sense from a salary perspective?
The biggest advantage in a fast-moving industry isn't speed. It's adaptability.
One thing I’ve learned in investing: the opportunities people overlook today often become obvious to everyone later.
Curious question: would you rather learn bitcoin mining participation now or wait until everyone else catches on?
Successful investors don’t wait for opportunities to become obvious. They educate themselves, conduct due diligence, and position themselves before opportunities become mainstream. Knowledge remains one of the most valuable investments anyone can make.
Depends which EB or BB... Generally speaking EBs run leaner, staffing-wise, but I think a lot of the rest of it is down to individual firm culture / atmosphere. At a lot of places even individual teams can have quite distinct cultures and experiences.
BB as an analyst. Get exposure to non-M&A products - DCM, ECM, LevFin etc. And as MD1 said, diversity of fee generating work at BBs will make it a bit safer in 2020/21.
I hope you are right... good luck
