Recruiting for infra from MBA

Based on the most helpful WSO content, infrastructure funds often don't heavily recruit MBA grads, as many promote from within and have mid-to-senior level professionals who never pursued an MBA. However, your MBB and PE experience could position you well, especially if you demonstrate a strong interest in a specific subsector like digital infrastructure.

Here are some actionable tips: 1. Target Specific Funds: Many MM/UMM shops focus on niche subsectors within infrastructure. Research funds that align with your interest in digital infrastructure and tailor your story to their strategy. 2. Leverage Networking: Post-MBA recruiting is heavily network-driven. Use the extensive alumni network at H/S and reach out to professionals in the infra space for informational chats. 3. Highlight Your Experience: Your MBB and PE background can be a strong asset. Emphasize your strategic thinking and deal experience, particularly if it aligns with infrastructure themes. 4. Prepare for Pedigree Emphasis: Some megafund infrastructure programs may still prioritize pedigree, so your H/S MBA will be a significant advantage here. 5. Join Relevant Groups: Look into industry groups or associations with a focus on infrastructure investing. This can help you build connections and stay updated on trends.
