There are no good "Master of Finance" programs in Canada. If you are referring to the Queens' one, that program has the reputation of CFA level 1 in a degree form. Rotman's MFin is part-time only so there is only so much recruitment in that program.
I have only seen Rotman's MBA get into MS at the masters level as a summer associate.
Heard MFE at UofT is pretty solid, a few coworkers came from that program; still not a Mfin program tho.
Not eligible for it. My bachelor's was of 3 years :/
My only option right now seems McGill MMF program. I wish to pass CFA L1 before going for master's. I only have 8 months experience in audit hence I really can't do an MBA. But any other program you'd suggest?
Bruhhhh 1- change your username, this isn’t Indian matchmaking 2- DONT do McGill MMF
Rotman has placed associates at Barclays in Toronto, Ivey has placed at Citi, BAML, etc. The MBA programs are your best bet for breaking into IB with a Global bank.
Don't the MBA guys go for associate interns? Do I even have a shot at being an associate intern because I have no experience in IB...
Look into UofT and Ivey's MFE. MMF is a joke, they're mentored by undergrads in the HIM program, LITERALLY.
I'm not eligible for either of those as my bachelor's is a 3 year program. I'm hesitant for applying to programs in US because of the long term visa issues. My options are Europe and Canada.
it's really, REALLY hard to get an IB job in Canada from a Canadian Masters. Because of the prevalence of undergrad bschool, there's really no reason for anyone to do a Masters so banks don't bother recruiting from them (and generally don't like recruiting from them as they believe that Masters student are less likely to take all the shit analysts take).
lol - skipped over the 'big' 6 local banks including RBC, where there are hundreds of applicants per spot, and went straight for the BBs, which are even tougher to get into. What a stud.
I'm so sorry if that came out as rude or in an over confident or ignorant way . I personally feel I have less of a shot in the local banks due to my inability to talk in French and I heard they prefer to take their "own" in Montreal... Please feel free to give your insight!
Was just joking around - not sure where French comes into the picture - 4/5ths of Canadians don't speak French. If you were solely targeting working in Montreal, then you'd need some knowledge of French, but Montreal's banking scene is significantly smaller than Toronto, which is where most of the hiring happens. Also, even at BBs in Montreal, you'd need some knowledge of French.
Hey man - definitely steer away from CS. My friend their told me they want to eventually get rid of the IBD.
