Top MBA or go straight to HF from sell-side research
Hi,
Currently 28, just finished by 3rd year on the sell-side as a research analyst (non-BB but well known bank), covering non-bank financials (currently a writing analyst in Asia).
My goal is to get into the buyside (ideally HF) and am currently interviewing with a couple funds.
我也在考虑获得顶级MBA, but am wondering how sensible it is to get anMBA(花钱和两年的生活以及巨额的机会成本)我已经在接受面试时HFs根据我的当前状态。
Reasons for getting a top-MBA include the brand (non-target undergrad), network, and potential opportunity to get a job in the states (I also have US citizenship).
In terms of designations, I already have aCFAcharter andCPA.
My main objective is to get a job at aHF(不太在乎位置)。
Would you guys think it would make sense for me to get aMBAor should I keep on applying to funds while working at my current sell-side role?
思想和建议赞赏。

Anyone with any input?
Everybody knows that theMBAwon't actually teach you how to make money investing...its just a screening process, and mainly for consulting and classicIB(M&A and financingIB...the jobs you never want to have).
因此,如果您可以得到想要的工作而没有得到MBA, then that's what you should do.
ForEquity Research, if you are not getting the looks that you want, my first advice would be to lateral to a more prestigiousBB. While at aBB, they will usually pay for you to get an executiveMBA(some firms anyway). This should give you a platform to then market yourself to hedge funds.BBResearch is essentially just a long interview for the BuySide. They buyside firms get to read your research and see how you do. If your research over time is accurate, then you have an easy path to make the lateral move to the buyside.
不管您目前的公司多么久负盛名,横向始终具有优势(更多的薪水,福利,曝光,ECT ...)。
Also, "BBResearch is essentially just a long interview for theBuySide。”总结一下的好方法。
Overall, I'd say no to theMBA.
However, you brought up "the brand (non-target undergrad), network, and potential opportunity to get a job in the states (I also have US citizenship)."
1) That brand would prove very useful. if you're already getting interviews with your stats, adding in a top 10-15MBA应该给你更多。
2) With friends getting ready to go to B school, and the convos I've been having with them - that network is proving more nuanced/useful than I originally thought it would be.
3) Yeah, if you're coming from Asia than a USMBAwould be helpful.
Also, it looks like you've worked hard the past few years. You deserve the two year vacation of bschool.
