Need advice on how to grow in the industry/become ready for a top B-school admit
Hi folks, fresh out of undergrad in India and working in a Macquarie backed energy developer as a project finance analyst. Looking for some advice on direction/pivots I can take to become best prepared for an MBA admit in 2026 (preferably at Stern, or some top B-school with a focus on finance) (would be 25 year old by then). Here's my profile:
Academics: Majored in Business and Finance from the No.1 rated undergrad business college in the country. 98.5% in Grade 12 (Valedictorian). About to give my CFA and FRM Level 1s (I expect to be done with all the levels by 2024).
Extracurriculars: Co-authored 6 papers in finance and economics (this is where I was first introduced to Stern's rockstar professors). These papers are very quant heavy and focuses heavily on crypto, equity and debt markets.
Internship:
- 3 Months at EY doing supply chain consulting,
- 8 months as an investment analyst at a Singapore based $100Million VC fund (I was 1/14 members of the India team),
- 3 months as a investment analyst at Macquarie's PE business - work involved around Infra
- 5 months working with as an investment analyst at a advisory firm to Korean PE/VCs
Work Experience:
I interned with and am about to join a renewable energy developer owned by Macquarie - I have project finance deal experience working with them (raising equity and debt for solar/wind farms), and can make highly detailed financial models in project/structured finance from the ground up. I am strong at modelling and VBA
It would be great to know what I can do next to develop my profile for NYU Stern, or a strong finance school.
Thank you, and have a great day ahead.
