Candidate:

Mr. Finance Nerd

About Me:

Very interested in art and finance. Paint and sketch in my free time. Definitely more on the technical side, even thinking about doing an MFin (at Sloan) or a MFE. I previously considered a Statistics/Economics/Finance PhD after several years in industry, but academia’s rewards seem disproportionately low compared to the effort required.

Post MBA Goal:

Still conflicted about whether to pursue the hedge fund route or the PE route. For PE, I could see myself going to an MBA program, working at a bank for a year or two, then going to PE. But for a hedge fund, I might go to an MFin program, or go from a bank to a hedge fund.
