There are many different types of investment banking roles.


Accept the wrong one - and you might end up in a job you hate!


There are 3 main types of front end roles to look out for...


👉 Mergers & Acquisitions Analyst


- Work long hours (14 to 16 hour days)

- Lots of financial modelling and valuations

- Lot of paperwork involved

- Great for someone who likes a fast paced challenging environment

đź’µ Likely compensation in 5 years - ÂŁ200k annually


👉 Private Equity & Venture Capital Analyst


- Where the big money is at

- Slightly less hours (12 hour days)

- Manage investment portfolio/funds

- Ideal for someone who has an entrepreneurial streak

đź’µ Likely compensation in 5 years - ÂŁ250k annually


👉 Equity Research/Portfolio Management


- Much more civilised hours (10 to 12 hours)

- Very precise and enjoyable work

- Work with some extremely clever and important people

- Perfect for someone who has an analytical bend of mind

đź’µ Likely compensation in 5 years

Don’t make the mistake of rolling every investment banking/ capital market job into one.


There are clear, distinct differences between each one.


And with them all requiring a minimum of 10 hour days, it’s important you choose well.
