Recommended path: MD Finance or MBA?
Hi,
I'm studying Economics as an undergraduate and due to illness I'm finishing college at 28/29 years old.
Currently I'm working hard for a high gpa and networking hard to get a job as fast as possible after graduation.
I am thinking about to or no to pursue post-graduate studies which I ask for your help of what is the best route do take:
- full-time master in finance (delay start working entry-level with 30yr)
- part-time master in finance (entry-level with 28yr but will they let me go to classes at night working till late?)
- work a couple of years and apply for mba at mid 30's (is it possible?) This last option would be my main goal but I really want to be eligible to a top european mba. How much work experience is required (standard) if I have a stellar GMAT and working in a top company?
I'm from Portugal and the top recruiters in my campus are Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC, BNP Paribas, OSTC (prop trading).
Background:
- 1 summer inter (energy company)
- 1 summer intern (nation economist's association - with rec letter)
- 3 months at bank operations and also a supervisor role of a team of 20 people)
- no relevant or continuous work experience besides these opportunities. I also worked 5 months part time in telecommunications backoffice
Sorry my english but I'm trying to improve it.
Tnks to read :)
