Hey all,
A few months back, I accepted an offer for a FDP program at a F100 company. Looking back, I really would like to be in the investment banking industry, and some day hope to work at a Private Equity firm. As of now, I am just in a dilemma where I think I shot myself in the foot by accepting the offer and wanting to be in a different industry. I was hoping to get some advice from people here on what I should be doing now that I know which industry I want to be in. Any advice would be helpful as I have been feeling like shit for a past few days over this situation.
Work hard, get promoted get an MBA and go into banking, this recession has made candidates who once would have been shoo-ins desperate for any job. Work your ass off, learn the industry, kill the GMAT, then go to an M-7. You're framing it the wrong way.
Ya man...thanks for the advice...I did interview at a few investment banks and at some they used the same line: "If the economy improves, we will contact you..." I thought it would be best to take a job and make some money to pay off college loans. Plus, I hope to rotate through the firms Corp Dev, Strat, or Investments if I can network hard enough, so at least I can get some relevant finance/modeling experience.
Anyway, do you think it is possible to take the GMAT with one-1.5 months of prepping? I was considering taking it before it changes.
