Will these courses help
Hi, im going for my third year in econ and finance, with the following courss:
Intermediate Macro Intermediate Micro Intermediate Econometrics Game theory Mathematical econ Intro to econ research Financial management Intro to programming(Python and Eclipse) Financial Math
As you can see I took most of my electives in math based courses, I just wanna know if they will help me if I were to work in IB, and which courses I should really concentrate on?
Thanks
Very few courses are relevant to IB experience, imo...everything can be learned on the job (this is coming from someone who took zero finance courses in college). What will help, however, is learning how to think critically, attention to detail, and the ability to research effectively (i.e. google well). IB doesn't require lots of fancy math or economics/econometrics, but understanding how economies function and being able to work with numbers helps.
I would say take the courses you are interested in, because once you start IB you won't have much time to study new things.
All they do is to demonstrate your interest in finance. Like anaismalcom says, very few courses are relevant to IB experience.
I would say accounting classes are the most useful to prep for your interviews.
Can you do more programming? Wish I had done more of that.
I agree take the programming
Thanks for the replies, just one question related to programming, I just have 2 more years left, so I wont be able to take that many courses in it, just a handful. My plan is to take an intro course this year, and 1 or 2 courses in C language in my final year. But do they use C?
