MSF Placement Insight

Hello all,

New to WSO and I have a rather specific question. I'm currently in a FDP, and looking at potentially getting an MSF after its completion. My question is this, if I get an offer out of the FDP, would the MSF still be beneficial? I don't know much about MSF placements and am curious what level graduates get brought in upon earning the degree. Any insight would be appreciated for a young chimp! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the insight! Do you have any thoughts on earning the CFA designation? I understand that it would obviously deepen my finance and investment knowledge, but would it necessarily move the dial much in terms of career prospects and employer desirability? Thanks again.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I've done some research and I've come across Georgetown's online MSF. Have you possibly heard anything positive or negative about the program? Or any thoughts on top/suggested programs? And would an MSF in your opinion help me really advance career wise considering I'll already (prospectively) be employed in CF?
