Masters of Finance help needed!
Hello monkeys
I am currently a senior about to graduate from a target school this May. Looking back, I really messed up at OCR for two reasons: 1) low gpa (3.2) and 2) lack of strong finance internship.
I have a back office job lined up after graduation, but I really don't want to make a career out of that job. Hence, recently I was giving a serious thought into pursuing a Master's degree. Btw, the back-office job offer I got is a tech consulting position.
I am primarily interested in valuations and getting a job where I can learn solid skills in fundamental analysis. I don't need to get BB IBD (although that would be nice), something like Big4 business valuation would suffice.
Do masters of finance programs place well into the jobs I have in mind? If so, what are the programs I should be looking at? I know that I can do the back office gig for 5-6 years and go for MBA, but I don't think I have patience to wait that long of a time to make a career change into something I like, and also I'd like to get my hands 'dirty' early on my career by getting the 'right' job as an analyst and learning all the fundamental skills ground-up.
If not masters of finance, what are my options at this point?
Thanks.
1) tech consulting isn't back office
2) Your GPA is low, but still fine.
You went to a target and have a decent enough GPA. Brush up on your interview skills and start networking. You dont need an MSF to achieve your goals.
