Hi, I'm a junior at Stern undergrad majoring in Finance. Major GPA is 4.0 and Cum. GPA is 3.7. I've finished all finance major courses. I am currently trying to figure out if I should start working towards a double major in Accounting or Stat.
After working at hedge fund as an research analyst about one year, I've realized Accounting major is better than Stat. for IB career. What do you think about that? Thanks in advance.
