Ladies and gentlemen:
Working for a mid sized Asset Management firm doing research and enjoying it. Employer will pay for all of a 2nd tier program because it costs less. Other option is to go to a top part time program such as northwestern or booth. The difference is 50k out of pocket. My thinking is that the time commitment is going to be there anyhow, so might as well get a top pedigree and education even if it's more expensive.
My firm says I don't need an mba to move up since I have cfa charter but what if I wanna change firms or need leverage to get promoted to a different role? An mba would help. And a top mba would make me more marketable in case things don't pan out. Besides, most of our pms have an mba from a top ten program.
Do I suck it up and foot the bill or would it be a mistake to forgo a paid program?
do you even need an mba?
I'm hearing arguments for both. I don't think I need it right now in my current role. My fear is that I will need it down the road and will not have it. Asked about the value of an mba for AM but got zero feedback in another forum.
