Go for the easy Master or the hard quant one?
Hi,
I have been accepted in two masters that are in the top ten business schools in Europe. One is a master that is a Master in Management that is relatively easy going (ESCP) and the other one is a hardcore master in Finance which is super competitive and hard (Bocconi).
All my friends that work in Investment Banking told me that I should go for the easy one and use my spare time to network like crazy to get the best possible job when I graduate, instead of spending all my time working on theoretical finance which will leave me no time to network.
Are they right?
If I'm not mistaken, a MiM is like an MBA for undergrads direct with no work experience whereas an M.Fin is hardcore. I think a MiM could get you an IBD analyst role in Europe.
I think an M.Fin is a bit much for IBD. IBD math is actually relatively simple. Doesn't need crazy heavy theoretical finance.
Bocconi because of brand man!!
Hi,
The choice is between a better program at the Bocconi but one which I will have a horrible GPA and ESCP which probably will give me a better grade but that is not that difficult!
Not sure if this is how it works in the EU, but I believe in the US you can opt out of revealing your GPA to employers.
