Masters or Take Full Time Offer
Currently in an SA program at a BB for 2020, graduating with my undergraduate degree in May 2021. I was thinking about getting a Masters in Financial Analytics, which would put me at a graduation date of December 2021. This would give me an extra summer to get experience, more job opportunities, and a pay raise with my degree. I am just not sure where the job market for SA 2021 is heading. Should I get the Masters in FA or should I aim for the full time offer at my BB?
what role is the SA position? what are you looking to do ultimately
.
I mean shouldn't you just shoot for the full time offer and see what you get? If it's a role you really don't want, you don't have to accept it obviously. Just out of curiousity, anyone know if banks let you defer (still committed to the bank) a FT offer to get a masters that takes an extra half or full year?
people get masters degrees to get the job offer that you seem to already have.
aka....you would be an idiot to do this
Absolutely retarded given the current mkt conditions as well.
Take the damn job
Why earn money when you could subsidize some liberal professor’s extravagant lifestyle instead!

It is a trading role which is what I am looking for. Right now I am working to get the full time offer, then I will see what to do from there. You guys are right about the job market and that’s why I’m thinking of backing out of the second degree. Appreciate the advice a lot.

What would Peter Theil do?
Masters will be there when you need it. Job might not-
you can always apply to the masters program now, and then if you get the job, defer enrollment to a future date...and maybe never actually go.
Save the money and get the job if you have the option. Later on, if you are interested, you could do a Master of Finance at a good uni (e.g. MIT), MBA, or whatever you like.
