End Goal: IB Associate in NYC.
Evident solution: T10 MBA
BUT
Context:
I am based in a emerging market where the domestic financial landscape is extremely limited—mostly Audit and Tax. While there are a few Transaction Services (TS) desks at the local firms, the deal flow is soooo small.
My undergrad is a target locally but a total non-target globally. Between the lack of brand name and the lack of a work permit in almost any hub, I’m struggling to land competetive WE required for a top-tier MBA.
Solution?
To bridge the gap, I’m considering a MSF at a regional hub in EU/US. The goal is to gain 3-5 years of fine work experience and then apply to a T10 MBA to make the final jump to NYC.
I’m less likely to get into tier1 MSF due my not ideal GPA, so its not the option (at least real one)
Questions on the situation:
1)Does an MSF hurt my chances on T10 MBA?
2)Are there any other realistic options? Maybe I miss smth
