AM to MBA
I was wondering how strong your chance is applying for business school out of asset managment (portfolio managment) Also, how long do people usually work before applying for business school?
Ppl come in generally ranging from 3-7 years of work experience, there are always outliers. 2-3 years of IB/MBB is obv worth more than 5-7 years of non-Fortune 100 corporate.
Assuming you want to get into a top program, asset management in a PM role (assuming you mean asset allocation, analytics sort of role, not the kind that comes after having done fundamental buy-side research for many years) is not as competitive as research. It all comes down to your comprehensive profile - GMAT, GPA, college, outside work activities (volunteering is more generic than having founded and sold three companies), work experience, where you worked (ties back to that intensity comment).
I meant a buyside research position, should have clarified.
What arbjunkie said. AM background is solid imo, but MBA without goal is not solid.
Wrong goals (not limited to below):
To me, most valid reasons are such as: 1) dramatic career change (engineering to IB, mathematician to management consulting, musician to equity research) 2) breaking into "tier 0" career paths (eg. PE/HF/VC, but know these paths require relentless networking and preferably highly relevant pre-MBA experience) 3) mandatory for promotion in more traditional professions (maybe PE or consulting where you must get a piece of paper to advance, which imo is dumb, but it's what it is), etc.
