Help with Transitioning from USAF Contracting to Finance Career...
Hello everyone!
Here's my situation: I have a year left of both my active duty commitment to the Air Force and my pursuit of my MBA in Finance (very convenient how that lined up) and I would like to move from the cornfields of Nebraska where I'm stationed to the skyscrapers of lower Manhattan (preferably a career in M&A, given my background), but I'm not quite sure how to make that transition.
In the Air Force I am a contracting specialist and will have 6 years of contracting experience under my belt when my time is up, and my MBA is from Bellevue University (which is definitly not a top MBA school) but I really want to work in finance. Any tips?
Army vet here. There's an extensive military network on Wall St. You need to Utilize LinkedIn and network your ass off. You can ask around and I think most will agree with that advice. You will need to network especially hard given that you lack a top MBA as the they are generally favored.
Best of luck to you.

Bromando, to say you are a God sent would be an understatement. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
