Should I get an MFin to reset?
- Attended a semi-target, graduated with a mid GPA ~3.2
- I landed some great interviews for junior summer (BB IB / buyside) and full-time (PE) but blew them because of poor technicals
- Ended up in a less "prestigious" role. Think AM / Fund of Funds. Pay and WLB is solid, but want to go to PE or HF eventually
- Have been hunkering down technicals and modeling but having a super hard time getting looks
- Really regretting not pursuing traditional IB harder. Should I try to do an MFin and then re-start as a first year analyst? Currently making 100k in my current role. Graduated in may 24.
MBA or do lateral market. MFIN is for people who struck out on recruiting like yourself and a few anecdotes work out. Sounds like you have an interesting job, so just work there and do your MBA.
