  1. Hi everyone, I got into the Booth Weekend MBA and UCLA Full Time MBA program and I am having trouble deciding between the two programs. I am a CA from Big 4 by background and have been working at a boutique Toronto based IB shop in M&A for the past 2.5 years. I would like to work at a HF or a mutual fund and overtime become a great investor by doing fundamental research. Location isn't a preference but the HF's in Toronto are very small in AUM, staff, and there are only a few around so I feel the MBA may help in making that transition to US easier where the funds are bigger and there is more hiring. I am also not looking to get a job at a place like Citadel, SAC, Fidelity, etc. and would be just as happy with a smaller/mid sized reputable value fund where I can learn the business and grow within the industry. I know I will have to network to land such a job and the schools will not provide much assistance, but I was hoping to tap into the alumni networks / other avenues and work my butt off to get a job in this field. With UCLA, I may be able to land an internship, but with Booth this probably won't be possible until 1 year into the program since recruiting is mostly off-cycle. The other downside for Booth would be lack of depth in the MBA experience, which the full-time program offers. Essentially, I would just like to land a job in investment management and wanted to know in your opinion what my best path forward should be. Thanks so much!!
