I'm in a similar position and am leaning towards taking the role if I get it. Assuming you're in your early to mid 20's then I don't think there's any issue delaying b school a few more years. The relevant experience will only make your case to employers stronger and if things go really well well then you may not even need b school.

Neubergner Berman as an Analyst on their Mortgages and Real Estate Strategies team...is it a bad idea to switch now ? Should I just hit Consultant level, go to B school and attempt to come in as an Associate (or whatever the equivalent is) ?

Whats your background in?

Top 10 public university 👌🏻 🔥

Mid 20's. But that's my thinking as well D1! The work itself sounds fantastic and 2 years of Asset Mgmt plus MBA could open up a ton of doors at most Buy side firms (I would imagine)

I stand corrected. It is a top 15 public university* haha

Take it

Thanks OP for the post :)

I'm not sure why I'm being thanked? But you're welcome !

Is it hard to jump from MIS related roles to finance related roles with no back ground? Do companies hire people who want to jump but have no background in it?

In my experience yes. Unles you can translate your quant skills to the finance side

PwC2 why you hating on public schools?

For those who have passed the CIPM exam, what is it like (and how does it compare to the CIPP/US exam)?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
