Graduated from target school, seeking career advice
Hi folks,
I recently graduated from a target, am currently working as a software engineer (SWE), and have no applicable finance experience.
I want to realign my career trajectory to maximize my current and future potential comp. From what I've gathered reading the threads on this forum, here are my options:
- (My current course of action) Keep interviewing for better SWE roles. After 2-3 more years as SWE, get admitted to M7 MBA, complete a pre-MBA internship followed by an SA stint, and break into IB as an associate
- Apply for MFin at Vandy or the like by this Fall and take advantage of strong OCR to break into IB as an analyst 2 years from now (again, not sure if possible). Saves time over option 1 since full-time MFin is 10 months and no prior work experience is required.
- Get out of software engineering immediately and
- apply for less-competitive roles in finance that can provide tangentially-applicable experience to IB, following the same MBA path outlined in option 1, or aim to get in directly as a lateral hire. Better than the options above in terms of accruing relevant experience to make me more competitive for IB positions.
- apply to local, small IB boutiques and lateral into better firm later
Please let me know which of these is the most viable.
