LevFin to M&A to PE to MBA to VC?
Thoughts on the following plan I laid out for myself in college?
LevFin (1yr) to M&A (1yr) to PE (2yrs) to MBA (2yrs) to VC (career)?
The goal is to end up in VC but I wanted to start out in Levfin first (which I'm currently a first-year levfin analyst - 5 months into the job) to really learn as much as I could about debt in a year, then lateral to M&A to get some deal experience in a year, all the while recruiting off-cycle for PE. PE I'm thinking is great to learn about investing and operating a business in 2 years. After PE, I plan on going to Business school to get my MBA (H/S/W/C). From there, onto VC which I plan to make a long-term career out of.
Good plan or dumb asf? My next step would be jumping into an M&A shop once I hit the 1 yr mark at my current bank.
Good plan but things rarely go exactly as planned especially when it’s a 10 year plan, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s great to have a plan but be open to opportunities along the way
Thanks dad
You’re welcome champ
I’ve considered shitposting something like:
“is big 4 vals -> UMM IBD -> Goldman TMT -> MF PE -> Tiger Global possible? already at step #2 xD”
Thank you for making my dream a reality.
Seems like 1->2 would be the hardest leap. Ik this is a shitpost but honestly doesn't seem like a horrible plan. Maybe GS TMT exactly would be hard but a decent BB group wouldn't be unrealistic. From there you could probably do a solid PE shop, maybe not MF but possibly could do MF after an MBA.
What is UMM IBD? Ultra Middle Market IBD?
