How is Fidelity considered

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>for MBA placement?</p>

<p>I was thinking of becoming a service rep at Fidelity after undergrad and obtaining my series 7. A lot of the current VPs at Fidelity started out as service reps. However, I would like to ultimately work on the buy side for Fidelity Management and Research, which is seperate from Fidelity operations. </p>

<p>Anyhow, I was thinking of just working my tail off as a service rep, and then switching sides via a top MBA.</p>

<p>Question is, how I would I be viewed in relation to candidates working on Wall Street?</p>

<p>Could I go into buy side with a MBA from say, Babson, or would it need to be a Wharton or Harvard?</p>

<p>Also, how is McGill regarded when reviewing a candidate's GPA?</p>

<p>I know 2 McGill grads last year got into Wharton, but do you think they recognize that grades are lower at Canadian Unis?</p>

<p>It's not that prestigious. Series 7/6 are jokes.</p>

<p>Get a CFA. That's probably more important. Avoid going into OPs. Why don't you just enter ER right after undergrad? It's not that difficult.</p>

<p>What are they looking for getting into ER?
May I ask where youer experience comes from?</p>

<p>I hold my Series 63/65 (took them freshman year) - later, realized that Finance is not what I want to do. I'm a undergrad as yourself. I'm assuming you're a senior in this post, only because you seem to be placing yourself in a difficult situation entering OPs to ultimately enter ER. Why laterally switch when you can go it in one go? </p>

<p>ER - is Equity Research.</p>
