If I google “product manager to ib analyst”, all that I can find are articles about how to go from IB -> tech.
I’m looking at the alternate route. Everyone has suggested an MBA but 2 years of additional school isn’t for me, I’ll go crazy if I’m not working. What would you do?

Hi rechimp0249, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
Bump.
I'm in the same boat here. PM at a startup, but looking to transition into IB. It seems like switching into a PM role at a tech startup is growing in popularity, so it's nice to see I'm not the only one moving in a different direction.
From what I've seen, it might be better to go after a coverage group related to your company's industry than go straight for an MBA. Do you have any warm connections that are working in IB or a related industry?
