I am a May 2018 Graduate from a no name Maryland State school.
3.6 GPA but lots of good extra circulars and leadership roles.
I work at JP Morgan in a back office, Financial Control Role in Delaware (interned previously)
I passed CFA Level 1; have Bloomberg certification, and manage my own 15K portfolio 20% return in 2 years.
Have not taken GMAT yet but I'm 90% sure i will score at least a 650; and I would say 25% chance I score over a 700.
Currently I am seeking to obtain a front office firm preferably IB at a BB or MM. I do not think my resume is nearly at a level where I could be in the running for those jobs.
So my initial thought is that I should apply for a 1 year Masters in Finance Program to basically get a redo of my senior year and hopefully apply to these new Jobs with a much better school on my resume.
Questions:
Is it necessary for me to go get a 1 year MSF in order to get a FO job?
Is paying $50,000+ for a 1 year MSF worth it?
What schools from my below list are either out of reach for me or not a good program?
Any advice for me in general about moving into a better role?
msfs rarely land FO banking roles since there is usually no internship portion of the program. If you really want FO IB your best bet is to continue working a few years, then apply for a T15 mba.
