Hey there, I'm thinking about applying for a masters degree if I am unsuccessful in landing an Internship by the end of my penultimate year, just so it is a backup option for me. I am curious though to know if having a masters degree in finance may benefit me in any way compared to someone who is applying for SA that is still an undergrad. Will I have better odds of at least landing an interview or would it just be better to apply to any grad schemes I could get on to?
Thanks Stephen
