Econ vs Finance vs Analytics Major for Consulting?
Non-target Accounting major here. Have the opportunity to double-major in economics, finance, or business analytics. My goal after graduation is in order:
1. Consulting (MBB, B4, or other T2)
2. IB (probably MM or boutique)
3. Corp finance FLDP
4. Big 4 audit/advisory
Long-term goal is MBA and either stay in consulting, F500 leadership/corp dev, or PE.
Econ major is half theory (research, intermediate micro/macroeconomics) and half quantitative (econometrics, bus analytics, forecasting). Sounds super interesting but worried that it won't be practical and not be as valuable to employers as finance, especially for ib/corp finance. Most of my school's pure econ majors seem unemployed lol.
Finance major is pretty corp finance and investment specific. Thinking it would help with my corp finance fall-back.
The business analytics major is new. It has a class in python for data analysis and a few other practical things like econometrics. Worried that this major carries no weight since they aren't very common and aren't a hard quant science degree.
