1st Year Ops. Analyst and Pursuing an MBA?
I've been a WSO lurker for sometime, but this is my first post, so allow me to give you some background information. I'm currently a senior, finishing up my last UG semester at a non-target school. Despite the 'non-target' designation, I secured an offer from a BB institution in operations. Working in finance has been a dream of mine for some time, as I'm sure like you, the Street fascinates me. My question stems from my love of academia, and a commitment to achieving an even higher education.
From reading as many posts on here as I could, I've gathered that operations isn't AS intensive as other areas of the firm, and I may actually be able to have a life outside of work. Great! But what better way to spend some of that free time than to work part-time on an MBA? I could easily get into a private, regional institution with a reputation of providing a quality education (ACBSP accredited). Granted, a prestigious Wharton/Harvard/Yale MBA it is not - but does it really matter in the grand scheme of things?
My train of thought goes like this... By the end of my two year program I will have analyst experience at a large BB (think MS, Citi, JPM), in addition to an MBA! It may not be easy, but I'm used to working and going to school full-time.
What are your thoughts? Achievable? Ridiculous? Brilliant? Stupid? I'm new to the Street, so any and all advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
So to sum it all up, in the end you are going to have shitty back office experience and a part-time MBA from a shitty school? It sounds like you are all set.
