IBD => MBA => Trading?

how common is this? i eventually want to get into trading, and im thinking of doing a MFE degree then transitioning into a trading role. but is it better to get work experience first, even if not in trading?

Ah ok. Well, I would go for the MFE and then go into Trading. Have you considered maybe getting some work exp at a prop firm or something? you're really experienced so surely they could benefit.
