DIY MFE: pretty easy, have a 12 month track record on Interactive Brokers.
DIY MBA: most jobs are through referrals, so this is pretty hard. A blog could help, but you could also look like a dilettante if you don't have a track record. The only way to get into, say, McKinsey is through referrals or formal on-campus interviewing.
- jvillal 16y agoSo lets say I go on IB, make a kickass ROI after 12 months, and decide I want to be gainfully employed in that industry. Do I just put it on my resume? Do I write a blog talking about my success? Or, at the end of the day, will I need people to still vouch for me? For the DIY MBA, I completely agree. No easy way to signal that you have the requisite skills yourself.
