Hey, has anyone here pursued a PhD in Econ or Finance? What did your application consist of and does experience at an investment bank help? Specifically what roles? I'm assuming research is a big part of it.

I'm considering applying, but I work at a bank and I am also getting a masters degree at the same time. I was hoping to apply to a doctorate program after completing my degree. I was hoping real world exposure would help me develop research ideas.
I have a Ph.D. in Economics, from before I joined MBB. I have many friends who also specialised in financial economics research, so happy to answer some questions if you want to.
