Just get a offer in a major bank, should I accept it? (I don't have Chinese system in my computer, sorry to ask in English.)

tank98(Tank)

I am a graduating MBA and got an offer from one of the major banks at Toronto. The position is in the financial management area. I was lucky but it is really hard to consider that whether I should accept it or not. I understand that the current job market is very hard to get an offer, but I am interested in the M&A and portfolio management areas. Obviously, there is no guarantee of an M&A or PM offer in the future. It seems impossible to transfer from the financial management area to M&A or PM once I graduated from the MBA program. Should I grab the first cone or decline it at a big opportunity cost? I appreciate it if anyone could give me some advice and suggestion.

Agree w/ Piggy... I think Edward Jones's CXO is opened too... Best company to work for. -jeffrey815(Smartiecat); 2003-1-8 (#963356@0)
Take it. It doesn't hurt for you to look for a new job -semaphore(扭扭捏捏); 2003-1-8 (#963358@0)
Experience first. Without experience, there is no big one waiting for you. Unless there is absolutely no transferable skills in current offer that you can use in M&A latter on, accept this one. -1499728inc(bank); 2003-1-8 (#963360@0)

Good point, I need to look at the package whether I can find some skill transferable. Thanks -tank98(Tank); 2003-1-8 (#963404@0)

Take it! 1, as u say, The job market is slow. 2, U don't have work experiences yet. which u might need it, 3, financial management is not too far from MBA. 4, Bank is -babyface(★ 一脑子稻草 ★); 2003-1-8 {111} (#963370@0)
a quite good environment, bigger potentiality to learn, promotion, training etc.

well, just my thoughts. :-)

and a friend of mine, enrolled in university by business dept, but took art courses, working on financial field, wanna head to MBA, so now he is taking MBA course which the bank pays........Isn't it good? -babyface(★ 一脑子稻草 ★); 2003-1-8 (#963381@0)

That's pretty good for your friend. Once he has the MBA, he can change his career to whatever he wants. But, -tank98(Tank); 2003-1-8 {198} (#963399@0)
I already have a MBA and the Bank is not interested in paying for it besides I consider the future career change opportunities are not a lot once I graduate. By the way, thanks for all the comments.

well.........I am not personally in financial or mba field, so maybe It's better u get to talk with somebody who are in those field........and u r welcome! -babyface(★ 一脑子稻草 ★); 2003-1-8 (#963413@0)
