Good point. And if that is a step back, what would you see as steps forward? I’m assuming a PE or VC firm would be on the list. Any others?
Yes, PE and VC ideally. A money manager where you can use your sector experience and would be making a decision as well, but without modeling & financial skills that will be difficult. You metioned an MBA program as a further step. Isn’t one of the objectives of an MBA program to help you transition into a new area/business? If you’re having difficutly job searching now, I would just lock up at that 700+ GMAT and be on your way… Now - back to hedge fund of funds… any insights into analysts transitioning to single strategy HFs?
Yes it can and does happen. It depends on teh individual.
