Hi everyone,
I know this is a relatively common topic so please excuse me if it's redundant. I was admitted to a top 20 school and waitlisted at a top 10. I'll be attending one or the other starting in the fall (nearly certain it will be the first).
My long term career goal is to be a portfolio manager for a large institutional investor or a smaller OCIO firm, and potentially starting a firm of my own one day. I have +4 years working in finance (wealth management) - we are excellent generalists in this part of the industry, however there is certainly a knowledge gap between us and, say, the sell side (equity research, investment banking, etc). I do hold the CFP certification.
Immediately post MBA I plan on going into asset management, investment banking, or preferably institutional investor/private equity MC (this is my dream, but it might be more difficult immediately out of school). Although the top 20 program is not necessarily a wall street target, I really have no worries about breaking into the parts of the industry I've named. This being said, I am of course looking for any way I can make it easier on myself and show employers that I am a committed candidate.
My question, even for those with non finance backgrounds: should I spend the couple months I will have pre-MBA studying for CFA level 1? I understand many people talk about taking time to enjoy that summer before everything gets going. Any advice, anecdotal or not, is much appreciated. Thank you!
