<p>Hi All,
2 part-question...</p>
<p>I live in NYC, and I'm looking to break into an entry-level Wall Street role that will allow me to transition to a Money Management Firm or Hedge Fund as a trader/analyst (NOT as a Quant, though).</p>
<p>I currently have a BA in business economics, and a years-worth of work experience (in a business consulting capacity).</p>
<p>I'm considering going back to school for a Masters degree (and perhaps a PHD), so that I'll be qualified to get a top tier trader/analyst job on Wall Street. </p>
<p>(In the meanwhile, of course, I'll be looking for entry-level finance jobs with my BA degree).</p>
<p>My questions to you all:
1. Given my goal, what should I get a Master's degree in?</p>
<ol>
<li>What're the best types of entry-level positions that will allow me to transition into a role as a trader/analyst at a Money Management Firm or Hedge Fund?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!,
Chris in NYC</p>
