1/ It’s possible, but may have to wait some time as the current market for M&A is terrible. Give it 6-10 months to pick-up…

2/ Target masters is a good idea, my personal suggestion is go to to US and get if you are going to do it

3/ money vs WLB is a perennial question, ideal answer is exposure and learning’s (hence money) in early stage of career and then leverage it to get into a more relatively chill position

 

Maybe it was not clear - I don’t want to work in M&A. I would rather work in structured finance or asset management (leveraged credit possibly).

What would you suggest to look for in the US? There aren’t many masters there and I don’t think an MBA would be very useful since I already have an MSc in management.
