Can anyone provide any insight on getting into IB or PE? I worked in wealth management for a decade and I’m finishing up my MBA with a concentration in Mergers & Acquisitions. Series 7, series 65 and CFP as well.

Just recruit for IB via your MBA program’s campus recruiting? That’s the norm

Why do you want to move to PE from wealth management?

Aw my bad, didn’t read your initial post thoroughly. Would recommend you are comfortable with the three financial statements and how they intertwine with one another. To break-in, networking with alumni would be your best bet to understand their path

It's usually pretty easy to go IB through on campus recruiting.

Well assuming you are at a top MBA program. What school are you at?

It’s going to be an uphill battle. Target the MM firms first.

I’m just about done with my MBA (down to my last 2) and I worry about getting low balled because I lack management experience.

I was a RT charge/team lead while still on the floor but never had any experience with financial management. That concerns me. I don’t know how best to transition into operations management without having to take a severe pay cut. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I have 2 year of experience (cloud and devops) , My ctc is 20.5LPA fixed,
I have a good knowledge of Azure cloud services, devops, . Net with prof. Certification.

I am very bad with DSA and coding, should I continue to upskills cloud and devops Or should I start learning DSA, as for SDE role in high paying companies they ask DSA for all roles.

I am confused, I want high paying job, can I get it with good knowledge of cloud and devops or I have to learn DSA.

Am I the asshole? - Mum recently asked if I could help my sister out financially and I said no.

Went to therapy, worked my ass off as an adult to be independent while sis squanders her money on branded goods. Am I the asshole for saying no? Money in my savings is for b-school and I don’t see the need to help.
