Which career provides more careed growth/development: Finance analyst in a conglomerate or Investment Banker?
I need forward-looking insights and answers on this problem. I am not even 30 and I have to make a move on my career now, or risk regretting my career development for the rest of my life. Thanks.

- I'd say neither. Go work for yourself. That has way more growth/development potential than working for the "man"
- I have worked in both investment banking and in the finance department at a corporation. Based on my experience, I expect that you would get much better experience and faster career development in i-banking than you would get in a corporate job. That said, career development should not be the only factor you consider when making a decision like this. Work/life balance, personal working preferences and other important considerations should be taken into account when evaluating your options.
- I-banking is a good stepping stone if you want to go on to a career in corporate finance in a conglomerate. it is always a dream to be in a conglomerate, and going the i-banking route is a nice take-off point.
