What job opportunities does a MFin from these universities give you?
Hi,
I wonder about the job oppurtunites a MSc in Finance would be out of these universtites:
- Master in Finance from Imperial.
- MFE from Said Business School.
- MFA from LBS.
I am interested in IB, HF and PE. My interest have always been in HF but starting in IB at a bank would be a great start in my carrier. And thereafter move to HF after a couple of years.
I wonder what my chances are at GS/MS/JPM in London. Do they recruit from alot of students from Imperial?
If I cant land IB at those what other oppurtunities do I have?
Thanks,
bump
Why are you not looking into LSE?
Only personal preference. I will apply to LSE aswell, but If I get admitted into Said or LBS, I'd go with either of those two.
However, MFin at Imperial is my safe bet and I am worried I'll have troubles getting into IB at JPM/GS/MS after my masters at Imperial.
Hey, I did the MFA and can tell you that students in my cohort were placed in all three BBs you mentioned above. I can’t recommend LBS enough, it was a great experience.
Outcomes will be very similar for the MFE, and getting there from Imperial isn’t impossible but certainly harder. They are all good programmes nonetheless.
Thanks alot! Thats a relief.
Do you know if there are some HF / PE funds in London that recruit students straight after the Masters?
HF Point 72 Brevan Howard Man Group Citadel That I know of...
PE Terra Firma 3i Partners Group (this may be for continental Europe only) Silver Lake Blackstone
I could be wrong though because I didn't really recruit for buy side roles when I was a student.
The above will typically only take a handful of analysts and most of them had very substantial experience prior to the master's.
So, since you want to go to a hedge fund, isn't Masters in Risk Management & Financial Engineering from Imperial more quant- related?
I figure its a good idea to keep my options open. A MSc in finance keeps alot of options open, if you want to do IB or PE.
I am not an expert but a MSc in Risk management & Fin Eng. may increase my chances at a hedge fund, but I doubt I'll be as attractive to IB or PE. Or am I completely wrong?
How do the MSc in Risk managament & Fin. Eng. place? Do the students get good jobs ?
Horrible job opportunities, best you can hope for is a BO role in a 3rd tier UK city like Leeds, Nottingham or Bradford.
Seems like a bit of a dumb question considering: 1) you can easily find placements on LinkedIn and 2) we both know you're quoting some of the best finance courses from some of the best business schools in Europe.
I understand you can find the question dumb.
However, I am applying in September and Imperial is my safe bet. I do know Said, LBS gives good oppurtunities. I am not sure with Imperial and thats why I am asking. I'm also asking for other oppurtunities if I can't land those IB roles at GS/JPM/MS (and other analyst roles at reputable PE/HF).
I just dont want to take a Master in London, and end up with a job I don't want. I dont find that dumb.
