Usefulness of uni finance classes
Currently 3rd year major in finance. Having gone through many recruitment processes for IB, my experience is that the usefulness of finance course curriculums peak during first year (assuming no/little prior knowledge) when you take introduction to finance and then diminishes (not towards 0 necessarily, but the amount of over the top technicalities increasingly outweighs the utility of the knowledge IRL).
But ofc that’s just my opinion now and I define utility based on what gets me past technical interviews/knowledge needed to break into the industry.
Curious to hear thoughts on this, and your experiences with the utility of more complex finance knowledge learned in uni in later stages of your career.
It's almost like university is a place for higher education and academics and not a vocational/holistic training centre for IB.
