Don't get an MSF if you want IB
MSF programs are very useful for adding finance knowledge for non-business majors/extreme non-targets with shit finance curriculum/internationals who feel like spending 70k on grad school for no reason. It is equivalent to delaying graduation at a semi-target. This is helpful if you ACTUALLY network/hustle for finance jobs & internships. The problem is most NYC bb banks have close to zero FT slots available and will most likely go to people who already have a FT offer from their Sa & are looking to move up. Not to mention the shady bullshit that is MSF placement stats. Outside of the normal big hitters (MIT/Vandy/etc.) the other non-top 5 msf programs are horrible if you want IB. @TNA" obviously defends NOVA like an ivy and has still failed to create a MSF rankings that he has promised for over 1 year on MSFHQ.com
Moral of the story: Don't get a MSF if you think an ib job will fall on your lap, don't expect a top job if you don't go to a top 5 program, think twice about getting a grad degree that is far less common than B-school.
Isn't this common knowledge? MSF's are only helpful in the US if you already have the relevant background, and need to re-brand yourself/gain access to a greater network & a second chance at recruiting.
This also isn't true for Europe. Masters are way more common there, and many people land a BB/EB spot through target programs like LSE/Oxbridge.
It is yet people try to convince themselves that they can get BB IB from a program like Rochester or Nova with a 3.2 gpa, 700 gmat, no relevant internships, etc. because they think getting in IB is just a matter of the right mindset. @TNA" gives them more kool-aid by saying "he can get any ib job he wants if he hustles hard enough."
Typical shitty ad-com bullshit. Don't even get me started on his idea that msf programs should give placement data in terms of INTERVIEWS and not actual job placement.
What is this shit? I literally don’t give a fuck about Nova.
A ranking is difficult. Please feel free to create one if you feel so inclined.
You don't give a fuck about Nova? I find that extremely hard to believe given how you hype it up like it is a top 10 school.
You won't make an MSF ranking because you know people will call you out for putting Nova in the top 3.
I reiterate, why would I care where nova lands.
The school places into IB, not everyon gets it. You’re clearly salty. Take it up with the mirror or career office.
If you're sitting around counting on a worthwhile opportunity to someday "fall on your lap" you shouldn't bother getting a master's.
The Vandy MSF has exceptional placements in IB. They send kids to BBs in NY every year, plus a bunch to MM banks and boutiques. I went through the program and essentially everyone who wanted IB ended up getting it.
As far as the other programs out there, I would tend to agree with you.
Exactly my point. Only the top 3-5 schools have any RESPECTABLE placement for IB.
which would be the top 5 msf programs?
