In Reply To: Easy question M&A - valuation/strategy/financial analysis the most highly respected department in IB, makes the most money (usually) and offers the BEST exit opportunities - also the hardest to get into. Corp Fin - rudimentary financial analysis, cookie cutter products. Still gat paid a lot (probably more per hour than M&A) but your job is also much more dependent on market conditions - i.e. if this market keeps up, numerous tech corp fin bankers will be out of work by Xmas, while the M&A guys are busy selling off VC portfolios. You figure it out.
Message: thank you, man...I think I understand now..One more ques: I am an analyst at a small-time m&a shop and want to know if I can lateral into a BB firm after I get promoted to an associate without an MBA...This boutique isn't well known to large cap banks eiher, it's not BV, PJSC, etc...What are my options?
