What? You want to get an MBA and want to work at a hedge fund but you have to go back to sell side research after your MBA? Yeah, that's stupid.

If you get an MBA from a reputable school you would certainly have buy side options. The traditional long-onlys are always around (although increasingly more difficult for non-minorities), and the odd HF will be on campus here-and-there.
