Thanks. I am not sure about that one, but I don’t think corporate banking to consulting is an easy/common transition. Getting into M&A or corporate development is also difficult, but the difference is you can go from corporate banking to LevFin or DCM or related credit groups at banks and then move into M&A from there.

Thank you for this article. I was wondering if you are in corporate banking at JPM (High Growth Tech) can you easily switch to consulting? Is there even a slight chance to go to M&A (previous experience) or corporate development? I am a bit stressed in not finding the right exits..

Thanks so much Brian. HR who handles internal transfer said CB is willing to accept candidates who have five years of full-time experience for an entry-level role. The main issue is of course, HR’s view often is, irrelevant to the actual hiring process. I will try to reaching out to corporate bankers and see what they say. Thank you.

The main issue is that 5 years of full-time experience means you might have too much experience to win an entry-level role in CB. But I am not sure how much they actually care about previous experience in CB. It’s worth at least reaching out to corporate bankers to present yourself and see what they say.

Also further to the previous note, I’m planning to use our internal transfer as a way to break-in into corporate banking. Do you believe internal transfer gives better chance than candidates outside of organization? Much appreciated for your assistance.

I was always interested in moving into CB because I wanted to be involved in the day to day credit side rather actual deals. I was in military for a year and plus five years of risk-compliance experience having graduated from a top 30 college. I was just wondering if you could double check whether my profile doesn’t deviate too much from what CB expects for an Analyst/Associate role. Thanks.
