Hi America! I am from Hong Kong, working as investment in a reinsurance company. And I am looking forward to working in PE industry in the future.
I am now planning to get my MBA in USA and try for the summer analyst or summer associate afterwards. I understand as an average-profile foreigner, it is quite unrealistic to aim at firms like Blackstone or KKR. So I would like to know:
1. If there is any average or even below average PE firms that I might have a chance to try? Or any firms may value the international background much in their due diligence investigation or other tasks?
2. And what are their target MBA schools?
3. Other suggestion?
Thank you so much!
I'd really hope I could use the opportunity of studying in USA as a new start to totally change my average life, but I gotta admit I need a low entrance to start-up. Here are some basic Info. of mine:
GMAT 700
IELTS 7.5
Lived in Beijing before my college.
Hong Kong Baptist University Bsc. AP&P MATH 2015.06
