Looking for some career advice here....
I started my career at a big four accounting firm in DC. I have a CPA and a Masters in Accounting from the same state school. I did two years there and started interviewing at middle market investment banks in the DC area (Houlihan Lokey & Raymond James). During the interview process, I was introduced by a VP at HL to a small $50M Venture Capital/Growth Equity Fund that focuses on the ADG market doing minority investments ($5M-$10M for TMT PE firms is that they value the banking experience over my deal experience. Not sure if this would be the case for all though.

Get an MBA. Since I already have the Masters in Accounting, there are two One Year programs (Cornell and Northwestern) that I would qualify for assuming I test well. Would this be worth the money, or is it still an uphill battle? Note, I'm still paying off student loans and don't get paid a market PE salary now.

Stay the course here. If I get to the VP level, will that make me more attractive to a larger firm that does CPG deals or will I only be able to transition to ADG firms.
Sorry for the novel, any advice would help! Thanks all.
