How do I Break into Financial Services in the Boston Area?
I am looking to break into the financial services sector and was hoping to find out if you would be willing to provide some advice as to how to go about doing so? I am a first-year MBA student with an undergraduate business degree who is in search of an entry-level position. I have interned for a financial advisor, but I am looking to work on the investment management or analysis side of finance, as opposed to sales, and I am going to be taking my level 1 CFA Exam in June. Any advice on how to break in would be greatly appreciated. I went to a local no-name school and I'm going to an online, no-name grad school for my MBA to save money, but should I take out the loans and transfer to Bentley University's, Boston College's, Boston University's, or Northeastern University's MBA programs / online MBA for the brand name and career services / job placement's that they offer? Which school is the best? Which one has the best career services / job placement services? Which one will be most likely to help me land a position? Should I postpone my MBA studies and go for Northeastern University's online graduate certificate in Investments in order to use their career services / placement services? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Get into a better school.
Agreed. Don't worry about saving money at with an online program. If you go to a good school it'll open much more doors that will lead to more lucrative jobs. And if you have decent test scores/background/etc. some will give you scholarships.
I think MIT is worth considering? The only other school I’ve seen with a bit of alumni around here is BU. Not many BC where it’s more undergrad.
