Military to Corporate Finance Post-MBA
The question is, what level would I recruit to post-MBA; analyst or senior analyst, knowing I have a substantial handicap of no prior CF experience? Also, is there anything I need to start working on now to get up to speed to bring relevant knowledge to my internship or should I simply learn it in my first year classes (I roughly plan to take Managerial econ, financial accounting, global financial management, corporate finance, investment, corporate financial reporting, decision models, and advance corporate finance during my first year). Thanks for the knowledge guys!
My profile is below. Basic summary is I'm planning on using a top 10 MBA to transition from military into F500 corporate finance. I am networking from now until the start of school and already have some very solid connections from the manager to director levels at multiple companies. I plan on a concentration in CF and strategy in school. I will also recruit for a F500 FP&A internship next summer to see if I actually like the job and to get some experience. Provided I enjoy the work, long term I would enter full time in FP&A post-MBA to get some relevant experience, and then hopefully transition into a corporate planning role. (All plans subject to change once I actually do the job, but I like to have a baseline)
