Investment Banking (M&A) or Client Services Associate

Got two offers, one is from Guidepoint for the role of CSA which is basically acting as a mediator and reaching out to industry experts to solve problems which we get. This one's at Guidepoint and the CTC offered is 9.5 Fixed and the location is Bombay and it's hybrid. Other one is from Genpact for IB Analyst (M&A) and the role is the usual making pitchdecks, valuation reports for the different deals we would be working on. The CTC offered is 7.7 but the location is Gurgaon. Genpact is 5 days WFO. I want to work in Investment Banking only, also preparing for CAT on the side bc BBs only hire from top B schools. Really confused between staying at home and doing something much relaxed so that I can study but also jeopardize my career trajectory or should I take the plunge and go for Genpact?

Get the M&A role. Get the CAT score. Leverage prior M&A experience in GD/PI/WAT for admit Leverage M&A experience for roles from BBs

Was planning this, just the CTC feels a bit low but ik this is temporary. Thanks mate :) I also understand that that CSA role offers more but would be of no use later on to me

Honestly, I understand your dilemma, but you won't learn any hard skills at Guidepoint vs Genpact. Keep trying till you get something better
