Hey all,
I need some advice with regards to Business School. I am from the UK and am starting as a 1st year analyst in London this coming July.
Just so it is very clear - in London the IB process is different from NY, business school is 100% not a requirement for promotion- in fact most firms actually encourage the analyst to complete their 3rd year and proceed onto the Associate position. This being the case, business school is not necessary for me - but I wonder would it act as a catalyst for faster promotions in the future....and would a lack of an MBA make it less likely to reach the higher / more senior banker roles?
I am fairly confident that I can get into HBS for the class of 2012 - and wonder is it worth the $$$$ and the time taken out of employment?
Your thoughts will be appreciated.
