Hi,
I am currently studying Bsc in Business & Economics, specialization Corporate Finance at Lund Univeristy in Sweden, at my third and last year. My goal is to work in the investment banking industry for some time and ultimately end up in the PE field.
However, I am very uncertain how to progress from here. I am not sure whether or not to apply for jobs and work for a few years at an M&A boutique or Bulge Bracket bank (if possible), and then apply for Master programmes in corporate finance. The alternative being that I pursue my master degree first.
Any suggestions? As I have understood it, it is quite common to work a few years before pursuing master degrees?
If you suggest applying for master before starting to work, do you have any suggestions as to where I can evaluate what kind of schools are reasonable for me?
Info about myself: GPA 4.5 (5.0), top 2 percentile, at a non-target school. Multiple student union engagements including being responsible for launching an asset management division. Have completed a 3-month investment banking internship and received a fine letter of recommendation.
Incredibly thanksful for any guidance!

I would go with the work experience here, school will always be there get some work experience in your desired field and then decide if you really want to pursue additional education once you know more about the industry

Hi fredriklinder,
Are you referring to MBA when you say master’s degree?
If yes, then you need to have few years of work-ex behind you before you apply to B-schools to have a realistic chance of admission.
If not, then is this master’s degree in any way geared toward placing you in IB?
