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.
I am also contemplating getting a top MBA, but am wondering how sensible it is to get an MBA (spending money and two years of my life as well as huge opportunity cost) when I'm already getting interviews at HFs based on my current status.
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 a CFA charter and CPA.
My main objective is to get a job at a HF (don't really care about location).
Would you guys think it would make sense for me to get a MBA or should I keep on applying to funds while working at my current sell-side role?
