MSF or Tech Startup?
I'm graduating from my non-target undergrad and was ready to go and do an MSF, when I received an offer from a tech startup/company with about 40 employees in my city (small city, think 400,000 population). I don't really want to stay here, but they offered $60,000 and full benefits, which is a lot for where I live. Median household income here is $30,000.
The position is also pretty cool; they are asking me to do the exact type of work I like doing and am interested in. They also have a solid, experienced management team and have grown 50% revenue year over year for the past three years.
Should I consider doing this instead of an MSF? I didn't apply to Vandy/MIT/CMC and those seem to be the only schools where I'll have a really good chance (like, guaranteed interviews at MM/BB if I keep my grades up) at FO IB. I'm wondering if working for a year is better than enrolling where I've been accepted.
Here are my application statuses:
Tulane MME: Accepted w/ 10% tuition scholarship
Nova MSF: Accepted w/ $5,000 scholarship
SMU MMS: Accepted w/ $5,000 scholarship
WUSTL MSF: Thinking I will get in, interview went well
Duke MMS: Should be competitive, but I think I'll do WUSTL if I get in there.
Let me know what you guys think.
Take the startup job. PM me if you want to discuss further.
Startup for sure. Real work experience is always best. If you really want to work on your finance skills, study for the CFA or take classes on the side.
None of the MSF programs have that great of placement into FO IBD anyways. Some people make it, but they seem to be few and far between.
