<p>Will i be able to get into a decent bschool working as a personal banker, or should i be aiming higher for something in management? im not quite sure what bschools are looking for in terms of work experience. thanks…</p>
<p>does anybody have any insight in here? im confused here…</p>
<p>if you mean a personal banker at some random commercial bank, you should be aiming much higher for top business schools. If you’re handluing trusts and such through JP Morgan or equal, that would be a good job for top school if you can have some management experience withing a year or two.</p>
<p>Collegekid thanks for you advice. However, the thing is that i dont have much work experience coming out of college (even though i went to a top 40 school), so i dont think i could land a job like that right away. Should i just go the route of personal banker for a year or so and then apply for a job like that once i get some experience under my belt?</p>
<p>I don’t think so if you can possibly do better. Let’s face it, a Wall Street firm or top employer isn’t going to hire a commercial bank personal banker based on that experience. You have 4 or 5 years to get real management experience to be attractive to top B schools. You need to dig deep and find a company where there’s a good level challenge and you can grow quickly.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, no top employer is going to hire me now in the first place. I guess i could keep looking though. Its best to get some experience now, right?</p>
<p>Maybe could you list a few employers that i should be targeting? Thanks.</p>
<p>Where are you graduating from? What’s ?our GPA? SAT scores? They ask! Where do you want to live. What are your goals? What B schools are you targeting?</p>
<p>I graduated from UCSD. 3.33 GPA. Now i live in LA and want to stay here. My sat scores (i took them 5 years ago) were 660 math and 600 verbal.</p>
<p>My target b-schools are UCLA and USC.</p>
<p>Well your GPA is low for those B schools so your work experience should be as good as it can get. UCSD seem to be respected in CA, why can’t you get a better job?</p>
