Univ. of Geneva Commodity Trading Masters - Need some advice

Hi - received a handful of offers from the speed recruiting and outside networking. Does anyone with experience with the UNIGE program know if most contracts are standardized from the STSA or if there is room for negotiation?

Also - is it worth it to commute from ZRH to class weekly?

Cheers thanks

Congratulations, what offers have you got? Contracts are far from being standardized, really depends on the company; while for commuting from Zurich, I do not recommend it (if avoidable) as the program is intense and being in Geneva would help with time management.
