Is MSFin worth it? Where to go?

I’m an international Sophomore at a nontarget and have everything going for now but wonder if taking IB straight after undergrad will leave me with just 1 yr OPT, so I started researching and got to know that MSF is STEM and gives 3 years OPT so am now contemplating doing masters so I have more time to work. Should I do an accelerated one at my current non target or seek better places? Which ones are great and what’s the expected GPA etc? Currently majoring in Finance&Econ

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“Daniel really took his time to help me. Our session ran well past the scheduled time, and he went through every part of my resume in detail. He didn't just fix what was there; he also showed me how to think about it going forward, so I can keep improving it on my own as my experience grows. He was diligent, careful and very patient with all my questions, and at the same time kind and easy to talk to. It was clear why he has been so successful, and he shared what he knows openly. Honestly, if I hadn't met with Daniel, I think I would have missed out on a lot of opportunities down the line. He is an amazing mentor and I'm grateful for the time he put in.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Great guy, kind and easy to interact with. To be honest, I did have a hard time understanding his accent for the first 5 minutes but I was able to quickly pick it up after that so my session was not affected. He was great at simulating an actual interview environment and asked great question tailored to me in real time. He was also very very very helpful with the actionable steps that he outlined during the last 5 minutes of our call. I am currently in the process of booking another session with him to make sure my technicals are absolutely bulletproof.”
