I started at an MBB firm 5 months ago (pre-MBA position) after graduating with a degree in Finance and undergrad internships in IB, PE, Corporate Development, etc.
A persistent source of anxiety for me is not knowing what realistic exit opportunities I would have if I were counseled to leave or affected by layoffs—especially if that happened before reaching the one- or two-year mark.
I’ve heard that the type and quality of post-MBB opportunities can differ significantly depending on whether someone leaves after six months, one year, or two years. To help ease this uncertainty, I’d like to develop a clear plan for potential next steps at each of those time points.
- Could you outline what strong yet realistically attainable job positions or career paths are typically accessible to someone with:
- 6 months of MBB experience
- 1 year of MBB experience
- 2 years of MBB experience
