I am currently a first year Associate at a Commercial Bank. I would like to move into PE/IB/CF. Is getting an executive MBA from schools like Cornell/Duke/UT/A&M worth it for my career aspirations or can I obtain these positions by making the jump from Commercial Banking? Any advice would help. Thanks.
