Great video as usual. Could you make a video solely on hedge funds. I know you’ve compared hedge funds to PE in prior videos, and it was great. Just want to learn more about it, especially since you have mentioned having friends that work in the industry. Thanks man, keep doing your thing.
Great perspective on Corp. Dev. as industry alternative to many of the traditional finance roles. Would you also be able to give an overview on Corp. Strategy in one of your future videos?
Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. Since Corp Strategy roles are an alternative for Mgmt Consultants, How does the Corp Dev team and the Corp Strategy team work together?
Hey Matt, I am currently looking at pursuing an MBA from Ivey business school at western as well as the CFA designation, in order to obtain a position at an investment bank. However, my bachelors degree is from Athabasca University which is by no means a top tier school. If I get an MBA from Ivey and a CFA designation, will anyone care where I did my bachelors? Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks!
I think people will make note of your bachelor's, but it will likely only be a tiebreaker during recruiting. If you're a good candidate at the MBA level, people are more likely to disregard your bachelor's.
Corp Strategy tends to be more general corporate decisions like partnerships, new business lines, where to expand. Corp Dev definitionally is much more focused on M&A. At smaller companies, I've seen Corp Dev / Corp Strat under the same group.

Possibly down the road! I'll probably stick with more core finance roles for now
Love the videos, keep it up!
Very accurate and informative
Do you think it’s still hard to transition back into high finance even if you’re at a FAANG company?
Solo FP&A teams at start ups do alot of corporate development
Top notch!

CFA is irrelevant for Investment Banking and Ivey is not a target… just do M7 MBA and network
Hey Matt, do you edit your own RUclips videos and memes on the IG page?
I used to edit my own RUclips videos using Premiere, now I outsource it (that's why they look so much better now). I edit the memes on IG in Canva
