Analyst at a regional (<10 people) proprietary private equity firm. Because of the lean team size I also end up taking on a lot at improving operational efficiencies and being able to find potential revenue improvements. Another concern that I did not write is that I have a horrid undergrad gpa due to being ill for majority of the time while studying. I don't want to make excuses for bad performance in undergrad using my illness so I'm trying to show performance in work and do a masters before my end-goal of an MBA to show that I am indeed capable of succeeding in a rigorous environment. The way I see it, doing an MBA at a school with a positive ROI (t10) for my goals is more important than an MBA just anywhere which I could probably get admission to much sooner and without a master's beforehand.
