Soon to be Coast Guard Vet to Finance, Tons of Questions
Hey Everyone-
In a couple of years I will be leaving my beloved Coast Guard after 5 years of service. This fall I will be starting my MSF at a target school, while on active duty. Before I joined the CG I graduated from a solid school in DC with a public policy degree with an economics minor. Then worked at a lobbying firm for about a year, hated it and enlisted in the CG. In the CG, I work in a command center where we plan the logistics of all missions in our area, brief them up the chain (sometimes to the commandant) and debrief and assess missions once they're completed. So for my questions. Assuming I graduate with a 3.6+ GPA with my MSF I wanted to know at which level in a firm (big 4 probably most likely landing spot)? Also, since I will be on active duty, I obviously do not have time to intern while in graduate school, so how much will that hurt me when I apply for jobs? Finally, and probably any vets on the site can answer this one best, when should I start sending out applications? I know in the military they say start 6 months before you leave the service, but this isn't for a government job. Thanks for the help guys!
