Help me out by advising
Hello. I am currently completing my bachelor's in management with another 1.5 years remaining until graduation. However, my interest lies in finance. I have taken finance and accounting classes, completed several Coursera courses on finance and economics offered by Wharton and Bocconi. Additionally, I have self-taught skills such as financial modeling (though not at an advanced level) and Python for analysis.
I have always aspired to work in a front office finance role such as investment banking. Unfortunately, such roles are scarce in my country. Individuals rarely secure core finance roles unless they are highly senior or have accumulated several years of work experience. I am now considering two options:
1) Complete my bachelor's degree --> Pursue Chartered Accountancy for 2.5 or 3 years (equivalent to CPA) --> Work in a finance and accounting role for 2-3 more years --> Sit for GMAT --> Apply for an MBA and transition into investment banking.
2) Complete my bachelor's degree --> Sit for the GMAT and score 700+ --> Apply to MIM programs like HEC Paris, then aim for investment banking opportunities.
However, I lack work experience and have not completed any internships. In our culture, internships typically occur after completing the degree or in the final year. Nevertheless, I am active in extracurricular activities, having participated and won competitions in inter-department sports, Model United Nations, and currently in the process of co-founding a club with my friends. I am proficient in three languages and have basic conversational skills in French (somewhere between A1 to A2 level).
