Currently, I am a junior studying economics at Syracuse. Once I graduate I plan to move to NYC to become a financial analyst at an investment bank. I will spend about 4-5 yrs in that industry before going back to school for my MBA. Also plan on getting my CFA destinction during that time.
My question is whether this is a feasible career path? Is it realistic that I can work the intensive hours as an analyst, study for the GMAT and CFA exams, and have a personal life? Do most I-bankers who get their MBA get all three levels of the CFA before going back to school?
plan not having a girlfriend for a while. From someone I know as an investment banker, They put in long hours for a few years until they build seniority. But also that CFA is a very hard exam |
