Background:
I went to a low-ranked state school, will be graduating in May with a ~3.9 GPA and a finance degree, and have an offer to join a f500 FLDP program. I should mention that I will have no debt upon graduating.
Alternative:
I think with my profile I could get into the Vandy, USC, WUSTL MFin programs, and from here I think I would have a reasonable shot at banking. This program would cost about $60k.
Which option would you pursue?
A) FLDP with no debt
B) Possible chance at banking with ~60k debt
FLDP. Save the 60K, work 3 years, then get a Top15 MBA ~> BB IB
Exactly what this guy said
Yeah, FLDP is good, no debt is key. IMO, if you have a good job it is hard to really quit and do an msf unless you are absolutely miserable.
FLDP hands down
FLDP for 2/3 years and for the next 2/3 years try to continuously network into IB.
During that time think about attempting to get your CFA. I know I know, it doesn't matter in IB, but it's something which will help with exit-opps post IB and will give you even more credibility to your resume.
Oh, and KILL the GMAT. FLDP at a higher ranked F500, with a 730+ GMAT will be M7 material potentially.
This.
