Accepting a trading job then quitting
I'm currently an undergraduate going into my Senior year. I've been trying to decide whether it would be best for me to go to graduate school to get an MBA or accept a job in trading and work for a few years. Now to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong) I am going to have to accept a job offer by the end of October/ early November if I am offered on. I wouldn't hear back from a certain graduate school until Mid-December. My question is, what happens if I were to accept a job offer in trading in October, but have a change of heart in December if I get into my graduate school of choice and decide I'd rather go in that direction. What would be the repercussions of such a decision? Thank you!
you really shouldn't be thinking of doing an MBA without a few years industry experience behind you! I doubt the top MBA programs will even take you without a good company on your CV. Defo accept the job offer, then maybe do the MBA. Although they aren't realyl important for trading - more IB
I guess just work under the assumption that getting into a top MBA program is a possibility. Regardless of which choice is better, what would happen if i were to accept an offer but then decide I'd rather go to graduate school.
Maybe in the us is different, but in Europe you receive the offers from around February. If it's the same in the us you should be fine. I don't think you can get in a top MBA directly from undergrad, but to answer your question if you accept and offer and then resign to do an MBA you shouldn't have a big problem. They might get angry, but by the time you finish the MBA they won't remember. You can get in trouble if you resign to go to another bank, but I don't see what they can do in this situation.
Well let me ask this question first, why do you want an MBA?
MBA makes no sense. Now if you got accepted to say Princeton for a MFin that would be a different story.
