北大硕士商业银行总行前台申MBA，求建议

longforyou89

麻烦各位论坛前辈了。
北京重点财经本科，北大光华研究生，11年7月毕业后在某商业银行总行前台部门上班，毕业后一直从事的是地产融资业务。
本科GPA 3.6 研究生差不多。对经济金融知识较熟悉。
目前税后年薪大概40w，申MBA主要是因为想毕业后留在美国的地产私募基金，如黑石、凯雷之类的。
请问：
1）我的情况通过MBA转换职业方向可行吗？大概能申到什么样的学校或者什么样的学校可以找到上述企业职位？毕业后能转到理想的岗位吗？
2）中肯可行的准备建议。
谢谢各位了！

有帖子说去美国的适合于年薪10w以下的或者资产3000万以上的。我觉得虽然有点片面，但还是有一定道理的。在这两者之间的，相对收益较少，相对风险偏大。。。

是啊，所以我自己也一直下不了决心，机会成本太大了。怕到时两头空

年薪10W以下。。。除非是刚毕业没多久的，不然有想去北美念MBA的人里头一年拿年薪十万以下的能有多少？

楼主，已私信你。其实40万不算什么机会成本。。。。只是因为国内人口收入差距太大才会显得难以割舍。在美国年薪7，8万的工作，算above average但是及时即使对于做 commercial banking的也不算什么高薪。H1B是关键。

楼主说的是税后40W嘛，我这里也是税后哦。除去金融挨踢，向我们制造业的，年薪这个数已经算是不错了

LZ这机会成本也太大了：在美帝top学校MBA毕业之后一两年之内的税后中位数收入也就是你现在这个数（年薪$100k到手可能还没有$70k呢，I mean it.）。。。而且算及购买力的差别，你的生活水准会大打折扣的。。。更不要提H1B抽签之类的恼人事情了

目测LZ两年后在国内应该至少税后50w+了，读完书反而要重新寻找合适的岗位，更不用说2年的机会成本了。其实光华的硕士已经足够LZ驰骋大中华区了，真没太大必要再去读个硕士。说实话留美做地产私募基金还是很难的，还是国内早早占坑更实在些

Hello there, my friend. I saw this post and I wanted to respond personally. I came from a Real Estate background before going to Harvard, so I know a lot about that world Now, there's a LOT we'd need to discuss (and a LOT I'd need to know about you) before we can really assess which schools you can target. We'd need to talk about your GMAT and TOEFL score, I'd need to better understand what you do at work every day (do you have International experience? Leadership experience?), and I'd also just want to know more about who you are as a person OUTSIDE of work (because the bschools take that very seriously). Those things are all going to play a BIG role in your overall profile/candidacy, and in order to truly assess your chances and help you come up with a plan... well, we're going to need to know about all of it!

But for now, I'll tell you this: it is definitely possible to use an MBA to make a career shift. That's why a LOT of people want to go to business school. In fact, that's why I wanted to go to business school! I wanted to move from real estate into more of an entrepreneurial role. And it worked :-D Buuut the thing is, in order to get IN, you may not want to tell the admissions committee that you want to switch careers. Why? Because the adcom is looking for people who have the BEST shot at getting a job when they graduate. And if they are comparing you, someone with NO real estate PE experience, to someone who DOES have experience in that space... the guy with the experience is going to have a much better shot at that job. Ya know? Career changes are risky in MBA applications. Your job as an applicant is to connect your past experience to your future goals. So that means we either have to dig deep into your current role in order to make that connection so the adcom sees that you CAN make that switch... or we need to list different goals in your applications that DO connect to your current experience. Once you get in, you can do whatever you want! But in order to get admitted, we may want to play with those goals a bit so they are more realistic to the adcom.

Your career goals are going to be the most important part of your application. Everything else you say in your apps will be built on those goals (why you need an MBA, why now, why that school specifically). So that means your goals need to be VERY strong, VERY specific, and VERY strategic. This is also the hardest thing to pin down.... and if you don't do it right, the rest of the application will cave in. So let me know if there's more I can do to help! I'd love to hear more about your profile, and help you start thinking through this process and how you are going to brand yourself. If you want to chat more, just message me on We Chat!

Best,
JF
