CPA then MBA options?
I was wondering if this was a common career path, or one that I could possibly take?
Get my MAcc and CPA while working at a Big Four for a couple years. then head for my MBA at a top school, and then become an associate. Could this work, because it would be avoiding the 120 hour weeks/3 yrs analysts would have to do? Thanks.
Also interested, please advise.
Its actually quite common. At the from my own research, I've seen cases where people use Big 4 Exp to apply to MBA and switch into IB after MBA.
Hmm I would also like to know about the CPA --> Finance route... I'm thinking getting into a top MBA program from a Big 4 firm would be an uphill battle.
I'm in MO at a BB, would that make it any easier/harder to get in a top B school?
Any?
It's really very common. My friend is considering studying MBA in http://www.businessbecause.com/shanghai-advanced-institute-of-finance.h… now. She already got CPA in China four years ago. After a few years working, she said that most of her colleges turned to study MBA. It's becoming very popular now. Why not register on http://www.businessbecause.com/and ask a lot of friends for some suggestions? You can find a lot of interesting MBA studying feedback as well.
There have been many threads on this topic already. Yes, it's do-able but like everything else about getting into IB, it's not easy. I did it from Big 4 audit -> Top 20 b-school -> BB but it took hard work, networking and, honestly, some luck. There were a few people in my start class who pulled off what I did as well. I also had a classmate who went Big 4 -> BB Summer Associate (S&T) -> AM.
If you're looking to get into a H/S/W, it may be tough to distinguish yourself from a Big 4. I know people who have gotten in, but I don't know many of them. Top 15/20 is pretty do-able IMO.
