IT人求助MBA职业规划

刘德华

1.Due to cultural background and language weakness,it's pretty hard for chinese students to get a post in U.S.A,excluding those who moved there before undergraduate.

2.Only an ounce MBA graduates can get a post-MBA job in VC/PE,the graduates who ranked top 5% in magic 7 b-schools and have a strong pre-MBA work experience in top I-banking.

3.Workload of IB,MC,VC/PE is much higher than that of IT firms(MC,VC/PE 60--80 hrs/week,IB 80--100 hrs/week).

4.Almost all the top MBA graduates can get a fast payback,and most chinese graduates in top b-schools got global pay in China,regardless of the finance tsunami time like 2009.For more info,I strongly recomment you to read the "career report" of your target b-schools as a reference.You can see it at their official websites,then select "your career".

5.Visa?No need to worry about it,as long as you get an offer.

6.As for what major is best adjusted to you,it is dependent on your personal interest,your strength, and your vision about your future,although i-banks and consulting firms always contribute the majority of top MBA graduates' employers.

Thanks for your explaination in detail and your opinion sounds very professional. So from your point of view, it is not a wise choice for me to covert from IT field to I-Banking or investiment, right? How about consulting?

No,I didn't mean that any type of job fits you or not.I can only tell you it's very diffifult for you to get a post in VC/PE.But even if you are a rookie in Finance,it is possible that you get a  post-MBA position in I-banks.Consulting is the same.Generally,about 3/4 graduating students reported a career change either in industry or in function from their pre-MBA position.

If you're really interested in Finance,do not hesitate to select it.From my angle alone, personal interest is always the most vital factor for one's success.

我觉得吧，既然楼主做IT做了这么多年，你了解这个行业，这是你的优势，何必放弃自己的长处和那些20出头的年轻人拼呢。
不要迷信MBA，来念个IT相关的master也好啊。然后毕业之后在美国找个IT公司，在美国做个普通的程序员，也能算是个中产阶级，而且工作要比在ibank轻松多了。

LZ,你不要太迷信MBA，我在那边的朋友都说现在美国工作签证很难拿，尤其是MBA，你要是还作IT可能拿工作签证能容易很多。而且MBA投资太大，我也在著名外企，我周围除了公司资助，很少自己去读的。另外，再告诉你个信息，我LG在IT圈，他们单位30多岁的在美国读了Top20以前的MBA的人很多，级别顶多比他高一级！年薪50万而已！
我另外一个朋友，也是HP做IT的，北大计算机系，08年去读的，G考了760，也是读名校，最后虽然转行成功，但也是转到了小投行，小公司，待遇远没有吹得那么邪乎，像她这样的就算不错了。
所以你要考虑清楚，不要轻易放弃你的IT背景，真的风险很大。

我也追问一下，同样做it开发的，已经做项目经理3年，做了好多管理的工作，因此也想转行做管理或者咨询,期待过来人继续指导。
mba的投入真是让人纠结啊.....

very interesting and make me thinking lots of things in real life !

我不是高人，斗胆表达一下个人看法。

忘了top金融、咨询吧。很多人都在琢磨这两个行当呢。当几乎所有的司机都觉得某条路是近道的时候，您如果还把方向盘往那儿打，就是添堵。已经车满为患、堵得不行了。

当然，更不用去考CFA。CFA当然有用，能把本来千分之二的概率猛增为千分之四，翻了一倍。但你觉得千分之四跟千分之二真有多大区别吗？（这里的数据是本人臆造的）

美特斯邦威说：不走寻常路！鲁迅说：其实地球上本来有很多路，走得人多了，便也就没有路——为什么？交通堵塞！——貌似不是鲁迅说的，是我篡改的。

《西游记》主题曲说：敢问路在何方？路在脚下！

知识改变命运。这个我们考上大学后，就已经完成了这一步。我们不用做农民、或城市无业游民了。

但革命尚未成功，创新，只有创新，才能成就未来！——完整版：知识改变命运，创新成就未来。

导向成功的路，必是一条少有人走的路。我不是神仙，我无法知道每个人成功的路到底是哪一条国道，但我确信那条路在每个人的脚下，并且是少有人走的，需要你用创造性的思维拨开所有屏障。

连卖报老太都看好的股票，一定要抛的。

大家从各个角度给你分析问题，意见都有道理，但具体到你自己，有时意见多了反而让你拿不定主意。
你只有问自己想要什么了。其实做决定最难的是自己这关，我也是深有感触。
共勉吧！
