Cass MBA or Indiana Kelley MBA? target for IB/PE

Hello, I have offers for MBA program from Indiana Kelley and Cass Business School.

Could you pls give me some advice? I worked as data analyst in IT industry.

I want to change my career in IB as an associate (ideally) or Project Manager for IT firms.

Not sure which country I will work, but most probably Canada/UK/US

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot for the reply. I think IB earn much more than a data analyst. I could not move into a data science role ( poor advanced maths. and I dislike it), I'm looking more for a management role.

They are completely different types of roles. Yes, IB involves plenty of quant, but do you really want to deal with the qualitative side of the position?
