Stuck in the middle... market
I know there is a lot of back and forth on the value of an MBA in 2022.. here is my situation.
About me:
Non-target... 3.95+ GPA.. Finance Major
D1 college athlete
MM GE internship (Tech)
Full Time in MM IB (Tech)
Get the jist? I am already in finance, broke into IB, but I feel like I have been cruising in this in-between land.
I don't have a top school on my resume nor a top BB or PE firm. I understand I am already in a great position to have made it to the MM space, but I have been contemplating if studying for the GMAT + potentially losing 2 years of income + paying 100k/year is worth it with my background (also for reference I am from a middle-class background, paid my own way through college and why I went to a non-target for athletic $)
I know an MBA can be ideal in a pivot situation, but being that I have a finance background, what would you do in my situation?
Probably the MBA. I think there are many advantages to a top FT MBA. I think its worth the money. And Preftige is forever.
Would need to know what you want to do next that you feel you can’t achieve with your current background and need an MBA for to better answer your question
Hey! Thanks for your initial response. Ideally, I am currently leaning towards growth investing at a top firm or UMM. Goldman Growth, Insight, and the like.
Do you think I have the ability to break in from a non-target with no alumni in those groups (and similar companies of course), some LMM/MM growth internship experience, and then MM Banking for 2ish years?
Another potential interest is M&A / corp dev for a major company, or the venture team of a company like google and facebook.
