How Competitive Will I Be?
Looking for opinions on how competitive I will be once I get out of the military. A brief snapshot of my experiences are below. Thanks for the help.
26 years old
Graduated from Tulane University in Business
Marine Corp Officer (Fiscal/Supply)
Managed a budget of approx 8-10 million a year
I have been out of the "business" world for sometime now and it will be somewhat new going back, but I learn fast.
Am I setting myself up for failure/an uphill battle starting this late with no real banking experience?
Thanks for the insight!
Marine corps supply chain work may save you. But you have to decide where you want to try to fit in. You'd have a hard time making a case for yourself as an analyst, and yet you lack the degree to be an associate (unless that Tulane degree was a graduate one). You've got to mold yourself to the position on paper, not expect them to sort you out.
check and see if you can find the wharton resumes. there were a lot that had that type of info up until mba, then the internships etc after getting into an mba.
i heard many former military personnels gone to sales and trading.
Business schools love military work, and banks love ex-military people. If you can get into a top 10 MBA, I think you'd be competitive for banking jobs. But like the previous posters said, it'd be a bit difficult now since you have too much work experience to be an analyst (analysts are usually 22 year olds hired straight out of college) and associates are almost always just graduated MBAs or direct promotes from analyst.
i know an mba here from the navy. before that he went to some shit school I don't even remember. go to a top business school--you will almost certainly get in--and then obviously use that to make your way onto Wall Street. semper fi
