Is RX possible from an MBA?
Just wondering if this path is even available. Tempted to do a JD/MBA but again, not sure if that’s worth. Thanks

Based on the most helpful WSO content, UT McCombs MBA is a strong program, particularly for energy and finance-related careers, but it is not explicitly highlighted as a direct feeder for restructuring (RX) roles. While McCombs has a robust network and strong placement in investment banking (IB), RX roles typically require specialized skills and are often associated with top-tier MBA programs or prior IB experience in restructuring groups.
As for the JD/MBA at UT, it could provide a unique edge if you are interested in legal aspects of restructuring or corporate law. However, pursuing a JD/MBA is a significant investment in time and money, and you should carefully evaluate whether the dual degree aligns with your career goals. If RX is your primary focus, you might want to explore programs with a stronger track record in placing graduates into restructuring roles or consider gaining IB experience first and transitioning into RX later.
