Ops to Top

Howdy,

Currently working in Trade Ops at a BB, have a BBA in Risk Management from Temple University (2019). Want to break into IB, VC, PE, in future... looking for any input regarding ideas for path forward. Is CFA or MBA necessary if I'm a well rounded/intellectually gifted individual who executes #1?

1. Networking & becoming an excel/modeling wiz

2. CFA + #1

3. MBA + #1
