Considering the current debt markets and the inevitable decline in LBO deals moving forward, do you think it is a prudent decision to attend B-school in 08' rather than spend an additional year in PE (or elsewhere) before matriculating in 09'.
I do not currently work for a top tier PE shop but have substantial deal experience (2 major headline acquisitions along with other smaller portfolio companies. Does anyone think that academia would provide a safe-haven from the turbulence of the markets and its potential affects on the economy at large in the next year or so?
I probably should have posted in the b-school forum but wanted to hear the perspectives of those in the PE industry. Thanks.
I'm similar to you: not top tier, 3 years at matriculation and am contemplating applying this year for R2.
I'm leaning towards working another 1-2 years, either here or at another fund, before heading back because I think it'll help me compete for both top programs and post-MBA jobs.
Sorry, I don't have an opinion about the 'safe haven' argument at this point, but the tides have just begun to turn so I'm waiting to see how it plays out. In the meantime, I'll take the GMAT.
