Indian Semi-Target | 1 YOE in S&T | Worth doing LBS MFA for London IB/PE exits?
Considering doing a master's and have heard mixed opinions would appreciate input.
Indian citizen, undergrad from a top Indian engineering school (IIT), semi-target internationally. Will have 1 year of experience at a BB in S&T (EM Rates/FX) before the program. Looking to pivot into London IB and eventually move to PE (MF/UMM preferred).
Considering the LBS MFA (2026-27), but a bit unsure:
- Is this realistic? I have gone through a lot of posts highlighting declining placements at LBS MFA.
- Would it help lateral into a stronger IB group or platform with better exits to PE?
- How does it compare to other MFin options like Oxford, Cambridge, or Imperial?
- Do London headhunters and PE funds take this path seriously, especially for associate-level recruiting post-IB?
Interested in working in London mid-long term.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Have a good day.
