Sellouts?

Sellouts

So I saw this. 

Basically Financial Edge and a bunch of their instructors (who were all ex-JPM smtg) are setting up an MSc IB? And at a 3rd rate university too?

C'mon, the ex-IB instructors gotta have to know that this Masters program, at that school, ain't gonna get their students anywhere near the 10 foot pole that touched IB (not gonna discard that one wild card exceptional dude who manages to land a role). They're doing this, luring people into a Masters (and possibly many international students too because they are the ones who are more likely to be uninformed), knocking them off the price of a Masters, and then marketing the 'program' as 'fast-tracking them into IB'? And the content will most likely be what you'll get from a typical Financial Edge/ WSP/ BIWS modelling course plus some gimmicks like corpfin?

To me this is completely sell-out behaviour. Idk if the students coming in are aware of recruiting dynamics, but if any international truly flies over from halfway around the globe cuz they were fooled by the marketing, then the ethical considerations of this is in question.

nasty attempt to..."cat fish" prospects that have little knowledge about this industry. essentially just playing with peoples hopes and ambitions

 

As a former graduate of Northeastern’s business school this does not surprise me at all
