Hi fellow Monkeys!
I am a non-target Latam university (yikes!) Sr. FPA analyst at a +$100m law firm in Florida looking for advice on next career moves.
I am having a really hard time bumping to the FPA Manager position or moving to another corp fin role (obviously).
A Sr VP from a mid size asset management firm for the which I am applying told me only 4 years of my 8 yrs work experience counted due to it being in Latam (hurt but truthful). So now i am looking for an Exec / Flex MBA, it has always been my dream on doing an MBA here in the USA and it would greatly help me in moving my career up.
Here are my opts, what do you think? Am I going at it backwards? Please let me know what you would do if you where in my shoes.
Georgetown Flex MBA or MSF
UM Ross Online MBA
NYU - MS Global Finance (ASIA strong)
Rice Hybrid MBA (is it too regional?)
UNC Kenan-Flagler
UCLA Anderson (Fully Employed MBA)
Wharton EMBA
All of those are good options to be honest with you. As as hiring manager, I have a lot of respect for people who do the EMBA stuff and hold down a fulltime job. However, I 'm not in "high finance" anymore (moved to a startup)
Getting the MBA will get you through one of the gates that a lot of firms use (education), however, not having the FT experience with its OCR and other resources will hurt a bit. You really have to be concerted and targetted in your networking but it's not impossible.
