Supply Chain or IB
Hello fellow monkeys. I am at a bit of a crossroads. I could not land a full time IB gig out of undergrad as I received rejections after my super days and accepted a supply chain management position in Silicon Valley. The plus side is that it pays quite well (in 70s) and you only have to work 40 hours a week, however, I still want to work in finance because I find it quite interesting. Have I completely cut myself off to break into ib/corp finance or can this be used to my advantage?
Always the same answer. Network.
The best way to go about breaking into banking now would be to get out of your current job after 2 years on the job and get into a top 5 - top 10 MBA program for finance. Then you can break into banking as an associate on cycle as banks hire associates right out of business school.
You can certainly spin your current job to your advantage and present it as a skill when looking at tech companies as you will know how their supply chains work in real life. So you have not cut yourself off from banking yet.
But if you choose not to pursue banking after doing an MBA, then it is pointless to pursue banking as it becomes near impossible beyond the associate level to break in.
Hope this helps.
For those who have done top MBA's...Do you have many supply analysts in your classes?
