Gap Year before Master??
I am a german student with a GPA around 3.9 at a top German school.
Want to apply for LSE, Oxford,... Finance Master.
I think chances are pretty high, but my problem is
I had so far only had one internship at a BIG4 and will hopefully work for a top Consulting Company, though not as consultant.
Now my question:
Should I take a gap year between Bachelor and Master?
I could do 1 or 2 longer quality internships (banking or consulting) and do some volunteering.
Would it help me for job offers?
Cuz if I start the Master right away, I didnt have a quality Internship.
How will a BB bank react, if I approach them as a top finance graduate without Investment Banking internships.
Thx
EDIT:
have to add:
I wont have time to do internships during Master.
Hola, como esta?
It will help to have the masters, but only in the sense that it buys you time. I have not seen advantages in terms of income, at least, when hiring bachelor's and 4+1 bachelor+masters. If you want to enjoy school for an extra year, go for the master's.
Arriverderci!
Hola como esta?
Yeah, what i mean is, how is the placement for master graduates with not enough internship experience? Here in Germany, internship is really important.
Btw, anybody knows how German Bachelor is valued in UK/USA?
If you are going for MBB or BB IBD having a quality internship (good firm and offer) will be essential. Do it.
