I attend a shit school doing a shit major and I love it
Basically I'm at a large non target state school that people make fun of on here a lot. We have pretty bad IB placement. I'm also majoring in women and gender studies because this major is easy af. I don't do shit and have a 3.7 GPA. I'm also really into blue haired crazy girls which my classes are full of. I was still able to land an IB summer analyst position at a pretty shitty bank so I'll be pulling in 6 figures after graduation.
I was one of the top IB candidates from the school because I spent a semester's worth of tuition on Sam Shiah's Wall Street Mastermind program. Daddy Sam gave me the best advice ever and told me to only recruit for shit banks because "kids like you aren't competing against Wharton."
I know kids that went to HYPSM target schools to study a stem major that hate their lives. They study all day just to make the same amount as me when they graduate. Before you decide on what school to attend next fall, consider having a simple life. Looking at the big state schools with no prestige might be one of the best decisions you make if you value having to do no work and partying every weekend.
Congrats?
Never happened.
Is this your thing now?
Funny, this exactly what one of my colleagues did, a Bachelors at a no-name state college, got an easy 4.0 and into our firm (T2 MM), and can now exit to a T15 MFin with great prospects after it. Meanwhile I got absolute shat on in my research-heavy Bachelors.
MFin programs don't place much in IB. they're mainly for quants. and T15 MFin doesn't mean anything - there are like 2.5 good MFin programs: MIT, Princeton, and Vandy if you wanna work for a boutique in the south. Everything else is cash cow programs to scam internationals.
Bro, I am not US American lmao, in Continental Europe MFins are requisite for most serious IB jobs
oh I see, got it
As a fellow European, no theyre not a requisite at all.
Why are you acting like its obvious you're not American? Your username alludes to Hawaii... you talk about your colleague going to a state school having a 4.0 (which is a US metric btw) and your most recent thread is about being at a LMM firm in a T2 city and even compares itself to NYC in terms of WLB and pay.
You're kidding about not being American right? There's no way I don't believe that you weren't called out and just pretended to not be American so your MFin comment was still relevant.
Masters in Finance is for those who did not get into the analyst program. It provides a pipeline to the analyst program (Not associate program). It is a just a cash cow for the elite schools like Princeton , MIT as well as T15 business schools. For Quants, a Maters in Financial Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics is needed. Preferably a PHD. Masters in Finance typically is not sufficient for a Quant role. A Masters in Finance is not something you get after you completed the analyst program. It will just put you back to be a first year analyst.
