Message: I am in need. I am graduating this spring w/ MBA from unranked university. I have vast work experience although none focuses on investments(because in grad school I discovered my interest for this field.) The quandary that I am in is that my school is noted for high compensations for Marketing, HR and other non-finance related concentrations. With compensation packages into 6 figures(including relocation and signing bonuses) I am trying to devise a route to break into this field and still make a decent wage. Should I try to compete for an undergraduate entry postion, or should I try the corporate route in the treasury or Corporate Development functions and then try to leverage that into an IM position when my experience will match up with my education. Any thoughts?
