Mergers and Acquisitions - more

Reportedly this is a good source for M&A training: http://amaaonline.com/education .

According to one source, Chicago, Cornell, and Yale MBA schools are also good training sources. I don't know how accessible these would be to most mid-career professionals contemplating a switch, but something to consider if you're starting out.

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) - Career Switch Path

I'm exploring M&A as a career switch path. One way is to go to a good law school, make partner at a good M&A law firm, and proceed from there.

That may not be very accessible in mid-career.

Another way I've heard about is to get an MBA in finance. I've also heard that audit is a good way to go - that would depend on getting hired as an auditor.
