After 5 years in working in investment banking in a large (but not bulge bracket) bank, I am now looking to pivot towards investment management (specifically private credit) - ideally through a M8 MBA or INSEAD
Five years in IB plus a 755 GMAT Focus puts you in the super competitive range for M7 and INSEAD. The pivot to private credit is logical and will resonate with Booth, Wharton, and Sloan, especially if you can highlight deal exposure and underwriting judgment. For HBS and GSB, you’ll need to layer in leadership beyond transactions, mentorship, initiative, or industry impact.
Your current bank’s brand (if not BB) won’t hurt much with a top-tier score and clear trajectory. LBS and INSEAD are strong Europe options, with strong buy-side placement. Haas and Yale can also be value-add with their ESG and alternative investing angles.
You have the stats and story for top programs, execution will determine how high you land.
