Hi all. On a throwaway account to preserve a little bit of anonymity.
I will be attending Columbia next year.
My background: 3 years at a MM investment bank as a generalist. 2 years at a tiny (sub 30) microboutique IB.
My question: I'm pretty much due for a VP promotion. This isn't a large firm or anything where it's a huge deal and responsiblities change etc. Simply a new fancy title, similar to a 3 person startup where everyone is director/head/ceo/etc.
HOWEVER, do I want this title for future IBD recruiting? Will it be a negative in any way? (Why does this VP want to join us as an associate?"
