Advice on Career path?

Hello Users,

I am looking for some insight on what I should do.

Here is a little background for some information Education: - Entering Final Year at Canadian Non-Target - Concentration in Finance and Minor in Statistics - Current GPA of ~9.47/12 (B+) - Exchange in France - Manager on the school's investment fund (~$1+ million AUM)

Work: - Wealth Management Intern - F&A Summer Intern at one of the largest Canadian companies - Intern Investment Analyst at Asset Management Company (Quant Focused ~50B AUM)

Other: - Passed CSC - Can code Python/VBA - Plan to write CFA in december - Currently studying GMAT

I am extremely uncertain about my job prospects post graduation. The AM company does not give out return offers so that avenue is not available. As well, I do not know if my current experience/educational background is competitive for the FT job market.

I am interested in an IB/S&T role but the job market is extremely small in Canada.

My plan is to start applying for full-time in September, however, also apply to MFin Programs as a backup. That being said, I am unsure if I am competitive in Masters programs due to my GPA.

Schools I am Targeting: - *Oxford MFE - *MIT MFin - LSE Mfin & econ - LSE Mfin - HEC MIF - Bocconi MFin - McGill MIMF * Dream schools

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
