Hello,
I have been out of school for 2.5 years and have already worked for 2 different banks. An opportunity has risen to jump to another better bank and I have some questions.
Job #1 - accounting department of a regional bank for 7 months and quit to join current bank
Job #2 - went through a 6 month training program and currently work as a commercial banking credit analyst. Been in my role for 2 years (Think TD, Capital One, M&T Bank)
Situation now:
A) I have been given an offer (with a $30k raise) to join my current bank's investment banking arm as analyst
B) I was also given an offer for a slightly more well known investment bank as an analyst for only $20k more for a team that I absolutely loved meeting during the interviews.
My question now is should I chase the better group at the new bank?
investment bank (still regional and not a Morgan Stanley) or should I stay with my current bank. My gut tells me to stay for the higher paycheck at my current bank for the "better story" of advancing vertically within one company even though the learning opportunities would be better at the new investment bank. Please advise

Hello,
I don’t have a clear idea of what your other qualifications are, what your goals are, or when you plan to apply to MBA programs, but as a basic rule of thumb, I suggest doing what you consider best for your career and your own personal/economic interests – if these conflict, then make the decision based on weighing these two factors. Don’t add the MBA into the mix now, as it’s speculative in any event, until you actually do it.
Then, when are you are ready to apply, look at your whole story and make the best case possible based on its reality. After all, many successful MBA applicants don’t have a simple, straight career path or a long-time company (especially these days) or an ideal life that requires no financial compromise. The point of the MBA application is to make your best case – you shouldn’t live your life for a still hypothetical application.
