Anyone here that has taken Wharton’s online certifications in PE or buy side investing and had a chance to land interviews with reputed organizations?

Dude those online certifications are cash grabs and are laughed at in industry. “I went to Wharton!” lol

funny

Honestly the certificates might hurt you. They’re embarrassing. Nobody takes them seriously.

An EMBA is vastly different from a certificate. EMBAs are decent but people who do them already have great careers and are just trying to get a little boost to move up in the industry they’re in - they’re not at all for breaking into new industries. You already need to be pretty well connected.

What it sounds like you’re looking for is a full-time MBA from Harvard, Stanford, or Wharton, and on top of having to get in (which isn’t easy), you still have to have great, relevant experience to even land a shop from one of those places.

What I’m saying is if you have to ask then you can’t do it.
