Target schools in Ukraine?

I'm thinking about taking a year from school, working, and saving all my money while living with my parents. We have family in Ukraine and $1 goes a long way over there. Teachers also accept bribes and I'm miles ahead of everyone over there in terms of intelligence anyway. Is it worth? Any targets in Ukraine with good on-campus networking opportunities?

Are you really asking if there are any prestigious but cheap Ukrainian schools where teachers accept bribes and you can network for high finance jobs on campus?

"qocbd" I'm miles ahead of everyone over there in terms of intelligence anyway.

Based on your question, I'm not sure you're miles ahead of anyone.

 

I hear that Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Київський національний університет імені Тараса Шевченка) has decent exit ops. I know a few alumni there are at Goldman, and if I'm not mistaken a top tier BB (think JP/GS/MS) has opened up a resume drop on campus for 2020 recruiting. PM me if you have any more questions.
