I work in Transaction and M&A tax and am looking to switch toward pure M&A/PE or even IB! Is this possible directly? Or I should go for an MBA, and if so, is the cost really worth it? With MBA, I can also consider MC!

Appreciate any advice or thoughts! Cheers guys

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
