Big 4 M&A (SEA) | CPA-CMA | 705 GMAT Focus | Aiming for LBS MFA to London IB
Hi! Need your thoughts about my profile.
Education: Double Degree in Management & Accountancy from a semi-target university in a Southeast Asian country
GWA: ~3.26 (Letter Grade B).Certifications: CPA US CMAGMAT Focus: 705
Work Experience (by matriculation date):
~24 months total postgraduate experience.16 months in PwC Deals (Corporate Finance/M&A).8 months in Finance/Accounting (Back office).Deal exposure: Working on $100M+ valuations and buy-side/sell-side mandates in various sectors
Goal: LBS MFA -> London Investment Banking
Questions for the monkeys:
How much will the 3.26 GWA hurt if it’s "offset" by the 705 GMAT and professional licenses?Given the 16 months in Deals, am I a stronger candidate for the MFA "Analyst" pipeline?Does LBS still value Big 4 Deals experience from SEA for the London Milkround?
Would appreciate your insights. Thanks!
scores are fine combined, and the experience is good. Yes i would say it is on the stronger end, other than people with previous IB using this as a finishing.
Strongly advise talking to SEA LBS MFA alumni before making decision. Afsik most SEA LBS MFA end up at Big4 or top local bank in their home country. While similar profile from LATAM doing very well in London after LBS MFA. Or else LBS has a strong presence in SG/HK high finance, try to recruit there if you have bahasa advantage. Good luck!
