我觉得楼主可以去做传媒，收入水平不比IB低哦，背景适合，受体制影响小。读MBA能为自己提供更多的时间和机 ...

好新颖，传媒具体指？可否科普一下？

lz的背景挺好的，读MBA的想法也没问题，我觉得17年入学的话，没有家庭方面的顾虑，年龄也不是太大的问题。但是我觉的career path可能要再想想。首先，投行的research一般是做二级市场市场研究的（和CFA的方向比较一致），看的都是已经上市的比较成熟的公司，分析一般也是基于公司现有的商业模式和财务状况。VC看的是相当早期的公司，更多时候是要判断一个项目有没有成功的潜力，退出时能有多少回报。投行的IBD做更多一级市场的交易（IPO、发债）和M&A，常用的那些估值方法之类的财务模型和VC更相关一些。其次，lz没有提到post-MBA的location preference，我觉得考虑到家庭应该还是回国吧？大陆的投行机会其实有些尴尬，外资投行的在国内招的人极少，内资投行并不怎么看重MBA，真想做投行，还是得去香港，即使是香港，招MBA的更多是IBD，equity research的机会还是少。第三，lz对投行的工作强度预期如何，考虑到年龄和家庭，IBD每周80-100小时的工作时间（equity research应该好一些）可以接受吗？

如果lz未来就想在国内发展的话，我觉得lz现在应该多和校友和朋友交流一下，特别是在做VC的朋友，看看有没有直接转的机会，还有公司内部有没有一些转战略或者并购部门的机会。另外，国内的MBA也是不错的选择。lz是不是在读MBA这件事上没有想清楚？为什么一定要出国读？“西方教育思维的锻炼”到底是什么？

感谢你如此详尽的回复！如此看来我我对职业路径还未作出更理性的判断，还有很多要斟酌的地方，再次感谢！

Hello there!

So first of all thanks to your fantastic GMAT you should have some good options. (I mean it will of course also depend upon your work experience too). But you have good grades from good universities, a great GMAT, and what seems to be very good work experience.

Roughly, I’d say you can aim in the 5-20 range in the US rankings, and you can also consider EMBA programs and European programs which might fit your age well.

I think you should drop your idea about investment bank jobs, because they like to take on folks real young, so if you aren’t in the industry, it’ll be harder now. But that doesn’t mean you won’t have lots of other great options!

I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, don’t hesitate!

Best,
Jon

assuming you could get into M7 (should be fine) and want to work in US (career path in China is a myth to me - seems everyone can switch to any industries at any time)

VC: only feasible if you can get into H/S (or Sloan/Haas to a lesser extent). Don't try other job as a stepping stone to VC. In most cases you can only join VC pre-MBA as pre-MBA associate, post-MBA directly as associate or partner when you are really senior. No mid career entry.

Research: almost every M7 school can get you into equity/credit research role in reputable bank. you don't need to have relevant pre-MBA experience, although you can leverage your industry knowledge to TMT team. Finance school like Wharton/CBS/Booth can prepare you best for this career path. It has absolutely nothing to do with VC though. Research in ibank is more about sales/client relationship/corp relationship than research itself.

IBanking: Pretty easy to get in. probably not a good career path for LZ (age+family/kids)

谢谢你的信息和建议。myth这个词用在这很妙啊，中国错综复杂的情况跟美国规范的情况比起来确实是个迷思。目前还是考虑回国做VC，放弃IB作为中间阶段的想法，直奔主题，提前做network，读MBA和找工作也可以是个并行的过程。Thanks！

弱弱的问一句，equity research就是所谓的投研吗？
