Hey guys,
Two quick questions.
Once I finish undergrad, should I wait a couple of years to do my MBA or should I do it right away. Have heard a lot of different opinions on this matter and not sure which route I should take.
If I were to take the series 7 test, would I have to take any of the other tests offered by FINRA or would that cover everything that I would need as an Ibanker?
Thanks,
NK

I don’t know what “opinion” told you that going for an MBA straight out of undergrad would be a good idea, But he/she is wrong. Going for an MBA out of undergrad would make you extremely unemployable for tons of positions (in finance or otherwise). All recruiting for MBAs is based on prior work experience jobs (ie not analyst for IBD) so you will have extreme issues finding a job (or get into a decent program anyway)
Why does getting an MBA right out of undergrad hurt your chances of employment afterwards? I'm not disagreeing with you I just don't know why.
you're overqualified for any entry-level position. MBA programs to make employees step into the next step(exec or associate if we're talking about IB) so it wouldn't make sense to get someone straight out of college

Ok thanks guys! So work for a few years and then go for the MBA. Sounds good.
Well, considering how you can't even figure out how to use the search bar to answer these two questions, I'd say you wouldn't last in an MBA program, buckaroo.
