    Anything Corp Dev or Strategy

    Also if you have a special interest at your company, working on that team specifically is usually awesome in my experience.

    Iโ€™d also throw IR in there. The exposure and change of pace from a typical finance role was great for myself.

      In the Corporate world (at least where I am at/have been) Investor Relations has always been under the โ€œFinanceโ€ bubble.

      Great exposure to high level leadership and the work interested me a lot.

      Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely look into. I've been thinking about getting away from banks in the next year or two

    In tech, anything close to core products/services is going to be the most interesting/rewarding experience.

    Then itโ€™s corporate finance jobs like strategy, M&A, and FP&A (in that order)

    Curious why Amazon Advertising stands out for you vs finance in other Amazon businesses like AWS and Devices?

      Iโ€™ve worked Marketing/Advertising/Sales Finance at Disney (but can guess itโ€™s be similar at any top company) the business partners there are usually really fun and youโ€™re surrounded by a lot of creative people trying to build campaigns. Thereโ€™s also usually a lot of swag to go around. When I worked in advertising finance, all the TV networks sent us DVDโ€™s of their upcoming pilots months in advance to see if weโ€™d want to buy advertising space, was cool to be able to sit in on those meetings.

      I agree, the aws team Im on is way more interesting than the ads team in scope and strategy

  • Disney Corp strat team is fing intense. I remember speaking to an ex goldman banker at disney who told me Disney worked him harder than gs new York when he was doing m&a. Ended our conversation with "if you're looking for magic, you're not going to find it here".

    Folks who graduate from that program apparently get a ticket to whereever they want to go. A lot end up at hbs for some reason
