All,
i am an entry-level analyst at a large Silicon Valley technology firm (our products are a household name) in the Financial Planning and Analysis group. i'm from a non-target public university (top 10) with a decent gpa.
anyone on this forum with an FP&A background make it into a top 15 MBA program? did anyone transition into IB, PE, or MC either pre or post-mba? any insight would be highly appreciated.
a top tier program isn't going to ding you because you work in FP&A. it comes down to your overall package - i.e. academics, gmat, essays, reco, community service, leadership, etc. FP&A work isn't the golden PE track, but it's not thing to discount either. if you feel insecure about how competitive you are to a well recognized program, then you should work on other parts of your candidacy in addition to kicking ass and taking names at work.
Wow didn't realize there were any responses. Thanks kb798.
bump interested in this as well. Interested in how would a switch from FP&A analyst be possible to PE.
Thanks
not gonna be possible without some IBD or similar experience in between
