我觉得来得及。只转function,不转行业,这个career goal可行。事实上有些商学院还是很喜欢理工背景的学生,因为目前很多商业决定都需要量化统计。因为不懂finance,所以才去学,所以这个也没问题。你需要build a case to show why b-schools have to admit you to help you succeed and why you want to develop in Finance.
Quite different. I have many friends with PhD/CFA L3 or PhD/CPA
Still they could not make the career transition happen. Although nowadays an MBA is not as powerful as it was, it's still better than CFA L3 for career switch.
For sure, PhD/CFA/MBA would be much better.
more titles are always better, but it is worth it?
for LZ's purpose a Phd and CFA is more than enough, but again if you are able to do more go for it.
I personally don't see a point in doing MBA if you really want to become an analyst, it is not even relevant. CFA will be the best choice and maybe master of finance will help too.
