ANT ... as usual. I have a link to it on my site.

Smooth... Thanks for posting though.

Oh hahah, that came off wrong. I don't think it is posted online so I uploaded it to my website. It was emailed to me from someone at MIT. That is why I linked to my site for it.

 

Thanks for posting ANT. The numbers look good.

I just PM'd you a response to your earlier question. Also, where did you get this? Doesn't seem to be online anywhere.

 

Actually, there is a sizable portion of the class that has 3+ years of experience. I think if you have finance experience and are dead set on going back to finance, an MSF might be a good choice, especially in this economy.

 

Work with an MIT MBA grad (just 1) so the sample size is small but she said that there is no meaningful difference between the quality of MFin kids and MBA students and wished she'd done the MFin.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses - Henry Ford
 

a median salary of 100K doesn't seem too high given the amount of debt you rack up. From your guys experience, what is the "typical" first year bonus for the MFin grads say in trading. Is 40K considered good?
