I have a few offers on the table and I need some advice. I've always wanted to do BB IBD, but coming from a non-target it was difficult to land interviews. I've been focusing on MM IBD and have a few interviews with banks in the near future. If no offers come from the MM IBs, what would you choose out of these options?
- Finance Rotational program at top 10 Fortune 500 mfg. firm. (interned here over summer and created a very strong network with high potential for quick promotions)
- GE FMP
- JPMorgan Commercial Banking Analyst Program
In three years I will be leaving work to do a full time MBA and hopefully transition into IB or PE. I have a 4.0 undergrad GPA and have already taken the gmat (710 score), so I think I would be a strong candidate for a top program. Downside to GE is that they don't like you leaving for an MBA. Upside to mfg. firm is that they pay 100% for MBA and encourage it.
Thanks for your help -mkballer
Why would a company not like you leaving for an MBA. That sounds very counterintuitive
I'd find it hard to turn down a company paying for my MBA. Of course I'd have to really look into their terms.
Their terms are just that, terms!. I know someone who worked at JPM and they paid for the MBA, then the person left the firm. You don't owe nothing to the organization. Now if the military, it would be a different story...
GE wants to make you a lifer in that they don't want you to be thinking about exit opps. after MBA.
I completed the FMP program and it is true... GE wants to make you a lifer...
Pursuing a MBA is pretty much frowned upon at GE...
On that note, GE has a top-tier financial management program, not to mention HBS loves GE FMPs...
You just won't be invited back to join GE :)
Yeah, I agree with goblue in that HBS must love the GE program. My buddy did that program and left after 1 year for HBS.
