Hello

I am planning to break into Investment Banking/Consultancy after taking my MBA.

What kind of Pre-MBA working experience is more important: As a Corporate Finance Analyst/Associate or some general management experience as Deputy Managing Director?

What of the above two roles will add myself more value at the moment of application.

Thanks

Hello,

I am working for a Spanish leading industrial private company. I am currently in charge of M&A activities in Asia. However, I do not really enjoy the industry as I find it highly boring. Furthermore, our methods of valuation is very simple, EBITDAx8 is the value we give to whatever company we analyse but we end up paying whatever needed. I don't do financial modelling at all.

I would like to switch to an investment bank, however, I left university a long time ago so I don't think I have any chance at the moment.

My plans are to take a MBA in the states in some years and try to get into a investment bank afterward.

Meanwhile I got an offer from another Spanish company, very large and public. They are not a financial company but one what manages infrastructures, like road toll stations. I would be doing large projects. The large projects so far has been US$12bn.
