Best degrees for IB ?

Greetings to all. (In regards to Investment banking)

This is my first post here so forgive my ignorance and any future facepalming that may arise.

I know this question has been milked and beaten to death;however,would a major in Finance and a minor in software engineering be of any relevance or attraction to IB recruiters ?

Or is my safe bet sticking with a major in finance and minor in accounting ?

In addition to the question above would a vice versa major/minor be of any order of importance ?

Thank you in advance.

 

Art history, gender studies and music/art therapy.

But for real though, minors don't matter. Just stick with the finance degree, get a high GPA, get a good internship, do well there and the rest should take care of itself.

So what you're implying is i could randomly choose the minor as i please and it doesn't necessarily have to correspond with my major as long as i just get a good GPA and do internship ?

Thanks.

 

Seeing as you put (in regard to investing banking) in your actual post.. I would say maybe a BA in Bro Studies is in order.

what school is this? I've never heard of a degree in "Corporate and investment banking". Honestly, your school's reputation is most important - better be a history/poli sci major at Dartmouth than an econ major at a random Top 50 college.

 

Finance... Is this even a question. And fuck school rep, u can go to the worst school as long as its not online. Its about what you can do, not where you come from
