New Job & Grad School

Just started working in NYC as an Associate Commercial Banker with JPM and also was accepted to MSF program at Fordham University.

Originally, I planned on going to grad school then trying to get into banking, but an opportunity opened up sooner than expected to make the jump. Now that I’m in the bank, I started asking myself is it worth the time to get the masters and will it help with this job? Is a masters necessary to advance at JPM? And does a degree from Gabelli have enough prestige to justify the investment?

Appreciate anyone’s insight if you think it’s still worth going back to part-time school.
