Does Getting an MBA from Wharton automatically get you a job as an associate at say, PWP? 4 comments
Of course I know that nothing in IB is guaranteed, and it doesn't have to be specifically PWP (When I said PWP I meant any MM or Elite Boutique bank - Piper Jaffray, Moelis, Evercore, etc.). As an undergrad, I want to know the real value of a top MBA. Am I likely to get an associate position immediately? What are the exit opps like at that level? Will I realistically be able to get a job at a PE shop after two years? Will any of this help me get a CFA charter?
I am curious because I genuinely don't know. Any and all help is appreciated.
Yes. Every banking door is open from Wharton. Obviously, the best groups at BBs and EBs are always hard to get into, but you'll have a shot
From MBA program, you always start as an associate - although a first year associate is about as useful as a first year analyst (sometimes less useful unfortunately).
Your sense of EBs is skewed. PJ is not in the same league as Moelis / Evercore.
Skewed is quite an understatement
The OP does say MM or EB so unless he changed it, he is correct.
piper jaffray lol
As elite as Joe Flacco
You won't be able to get an MBA from Wharton because you already have an MBA from another institution. Why did you delete your other post?
Why would an MBA help you get a CFA?
100% guaranteed. Upon graduating from the prestigious Wharton School, you will immediately be given a job at PWP, any PE firm of your choosing, and the full CFA certification.
As I said, I know it's not going to be handed to me. I was asking if it would make it easier/ if it would make me look more qualified than others without MBAs. Judging by the replied to my post it seems like I will have to go through the analyst route first and that it might not be worth getting an MBA right away anyway. That's fine with me, because my question was honestly answered. Thank you to everyone.
For sure Piper Jaffray
is Piper Jaffray really that bad?
Its not bad, but joining the IB Associate program there from Wharton would be underachieving. when your peers are joining GS/MS/JP or Moelis/Evercore/Lazard (throw in PWP for good measure)
Piper Jaffray probably targets schools like Carlson, Goizueta, Tepper, Anderson, Marshall, Kenan-Flagler, etc for its MBA Associate program. FWIW I don't know anything about Piper's MBA Associate program.
