Hello,
Essentially: I've been working for ~1 year at a local PE firm (~1bn AUM) as an Analyst (I'm from a small country - it's one of the largest PE firms in the country and has a branch in another Country). I was offered a job at Mckinsey starting this January as Business Analyst. Post-MBA I would like to remain in PE, albeit in a larger firm (i.e Blackstone, KKR etc).
So, joining Mckinsey vs remaining at my current place - what would help me more into getting into a good MBA and into a larger PE firm aftewards?~
i) getting into an MBA (fingers crossed for Harvard) and
ii) getting back into PE out of the MBA.
For what it's worth, longer hours don't affect me, albeit I think I do prefer the work in PE overall. The majority of the partners at my current firm went to HBS, so that might factor in come recommendation letter time...
The rest of the profile , is as follows:
- 24 White Male (Iberian Peninsula - Spain/Portugal)
- GMAT: 750
- Masters/Bachelor in Theoretical Physics. 3.8 GPA, Top of Class (best school in country, thesis developed in another European Country/Institution, won 2 prizes)
- 2 Years Federated Football/Soccer Player
- Published Poet/Writer, founded a Literary Magazine
- Volunteered teaching immigrants native language classes for ~1 year
- Can speak 5 Languages
- Play 3 Instruments, composed music for small indie films.
- Managed Family funds after family member passed away (IRR ~25%-30%): entered PE precisely to learn how to do this.
Cheers
