Is MBA a solution? If yes, what type of schools and courses should I look at?
bsb2 asked:
I am 28, Chartered Accountant, working for an accounting firm. Have developed experience on buy side transaction support work and aspire to work at an investment bank or private equity. But till now have had trouble breaking into the system, since my experience is ‘viewed’ as non core. Am getting older and therefore feel that whatever changes are required to change my career’s direction, they should be taken now. Have developed a lot of skills on the job, and am at decent position within my organisation.

You are not too old. Going back to school is an option. However, what about becoming a CPA? Where in the world are you?
An option for you is an Executive MBA program designed for working adults. Wharton has a good one.
MBA is not a solution
In india half of the MBAs create problems so that others can get busy in solving it
i think you have to develop some new skills in your c.a.like perfomance getting more accurate,speed work,you need training from other c.a,who sharp your skills.
