Career Resources
If you're at a top 5 mba program and you place into a good IBD you'll still have a shot at moving into PE over the long term... yes, it's unlikely that they're going to hire you directly into BX or KKR or something with that background, but smaller PE shops don't have such rigid standards and if you come out of a BB IBD you'll have a shot at making a transition so long as you're not too old (like over 35) and you have 3-4 years IBD under your belt.
This sounds strange. Will the man need all those technical skills at all, if he is applying to some relevant position in PE after industry experience + CFA + MBA + 3-4 years IBD?
agreed with the top, at best you may have a shot at MM, unless the market becomes unusually frothy or you possess some proprietary network/experience.
Dude, you have all three levels of your CFA done, admission into a T5 MBA program and solid work experience. Why not go into consulting, cordev/strat, smaller PE firm, etc. With your stats you could probably skip the banking experience.
Real life is not 2+2=4. Feel free to ad lib and skip steps.
ANT: Great advice. Why do you think that going into consulting versus banking would be a better step? I will definitely try and recruit for a PE gig from b-school, but I think without any modeling/analyst experience that it will be difficult.
I would check out AnalystExams.com. It has a lot of info. on the CFA exams and designation.
Bro I already have the CFA program completed.
hes trolling
ps. good luck
