What are good ways of understanding whether finance is a good career choice, and specifically, what department within finance is a good fit (M&A, S&T, PE, etc.)? I did my undergrad in Computer Engineering and spent the last four years working as a software engineer. I'm starting a T20 MBA program this fall and am looking at switching into investment banking. I've read Monkey Business and Liar's Poker, and while they're good at giving the feel of the profession, I want to know if there are any hands on ways of seeing if it's for me. I'm taking financial modeling and accounting clases on Coursera and am looking into buying one of the self-study coursers on WallStreetPrep.

Time posted:What are your thoughts on staying up until 5 am on a Sunday modeling FCF for a business that won't even read your analysis? I've always found doing mindless and repetitive work soothing. coffeetable posted:Are you getting into finance because you have a particular interest in finance, or are you just looking to stack cash? I'm bored of working in software dev, and wanted to look into other fields that attract quant-focused self-hating individuals.

Sorry for the confusion - I don't expect an MBA to help me get a quant role - I wanted to know sort of sell-side advisory roles are available to fresh MBA-graduate associates and what are the key differences between them.
