5 Year Plan

[Anonymous No.12410412]

What's your 5 year plan /biz/? Y-you have one right? I'm not talking about daydreaming but an actionable plan of course. Here is mine.

I recently got job offers in Boston, MA. I will probably accept a job in a small value fund. Salary is only 60K a year, but there is performance based compensation and it fits my career goals.

I'll be taking evening classes at the Harvard Extension School on campus, and if I get a B or higher in the first 3 classes I take, I will be able to apply for a Masters degree track. This awards a Harvard University degree in a concentration of your choice. I am considering either Finance or Software Engineering as my concentration, although the Software Engineering track has a thesis which could drag on. I should be able to take 4 classes per year and complete the masters degree requirements within 3 years.

Alongside this I will take a semester off each year to do a level of the CFA exam. If I'm able to maintain a 3.5 in Harvard Extension School's Masters Degree track, I am able to apply to for special student status giving me access to classes in Harvard Business School's course catalog.

After this, I will study for the GMAT and apply to top business schools for an MBA, and try to land a job in a large hedge fund.

Best Case scenario:
>Jobhop every 6 months and be making 100K+ base in <3 years
>Harvard University degree and CFA in 3 years
>High GMAT score
>Top full-time MBA program
>Intern at a large hedge fund and get a fulltime offer

Worst Case Scenario:
>Get fired
>Keep failing CFA level 2/3
>Fail HES classes from burning out
>Get raped by roommates
>Bomb GMAT
>Move back into moms basement and become a NEET

2019:
-Graduate from University on an undergrad business degree from a CSU school in California
-Apply for for every entry level job, doesn't have to be in my field
-make 30~k starting
-Start studying for certificates

2020:
-Keep working
-study for certificates
-start taking test for those certificates
-get those certificates
-save money

2021:
-Keep working
-Try to find a job with newly acquired certificates
-hopefully get a job and start making 40K to 50K a year
-save money

2022:
-Keep working
-Try to check out Master's programs in business within my field of choice (Not Finance or Accounting)
-save money

2023:
-Keep working
-Apply for a Masters program if it makes sense. If not: Save money

That's pretty much it. I'm 30 years old, though. So it's basically just find any job and just work until I die once I get my undergrad degree.

Best case (realisticish)

>My 12 btc makes me a millionaire by 2024
>Blow 50k at end of academic year buying more btc, leaving 20k for masters and 5k for emergencies
>Job offer in research, preferably at a university

>Best case (dream)
>Same as above
>I have a very good and simple idea for a modification to a everyday item. Could possibly push me into centi-millionaire to billionaire territory. Still trying to work out if feasible

>Worst case
>Rejected from Cambridge, do masters at current "good" uni
>Do shit on masters, mediocre wagekek job

If you don't have plans for your great grand children to rule over the plebs, you're not going to make it.

My long term plan is to start my own hedge fund. Hard to attract talent and clients without working at a megafund or going to H/W/S first. Hence the plan.

hedge funds are analyzed on their performance not what degrees you have lad.

No shit, but coming out of a megafund its much easier to raise money to start your own fund. Can't build a track record overnight either. I have been investing for 3 years with a balance adjusted return of 26% annually, but that doesn't mean shit obviously so ill keep managing my own money and work at various funds to build a track record. Continuing education will help me move to better funds faster.

2019:
- Find Job to sustain myself until summer semester starts
- Attempt to take as many Clep exams as possible before semester starts
- Apply to work for my former employer at a higher position since they start re hiring in April.
-Get hired(Hopefully)
-Start School again

Haven’t put in any thought into anything after this year.
