Applied to all schools and recently got accepted to Tulane. Obviously, I would like to concentrate in Energy, however, I would like to know which program has the best Placement and Recruiment in the industry. (Be it energy trading, Corp Fin, Research etc)
Also (reaching out to any Alums or Students) what do you about their MRisk Management?? I know it is more quantitative than MFin, however, does that translate into better job placements?
As of now, I sort of believe its a bridge between Mfin and MFE. Maybe be wrong. ... .
Solid insights would much appreciated
Thanks
we have traders on my floor from all 3 schools
I graduated MFIN from Tulane in '07. Of the 42 people in my class, probably a third went into either trading or equity research. A few guys went into banking but they started as analysts. The one knock that most people had was that many employers didnt quite know what to do with an MFIN grad. Heard a lot of "overqualified for an undergrad position, but not qualified enough for an MBA position." Tulane has a big alumni base in the northeast, and I think the business school does a pretty good job of helping with networking and job placement.
tulane is also unleashing a one year masters in management in energy trading and risk management for next year that will be purely focused on energy, may wanna keep your eyes open for it
I'm pretty involved @ Tulane in all of the energy classes. Yes, they do place well, but not everyone gets placed. You need to impress professors and actually take the classes (Energy Trading, Advanced Energy Trading, Electricity Trading) that are relevant to the industry. Don't expect Goldman to just come to campus and pick up a couple guys for their energy desk either, you'll still need to pick up the phone and call some folks.
But yeah, if you're willing to work for it, Tulane places VERY well into energy trading. I'm starting at a BB in March, and in last year's analyst class at my shop was 50% Tulane grads (only 1 MFIN), and the rest were from UT and other various southern schools.
what kind of exit ops will you have at your bb? will you be able to go to a hf? pe?
how would you rank all the bb;s in energy trading?
do you have a love of motorboats?
A) http://bronaldoil.com/ - Birdman's oil & gas company. Young money, cash money.
B) Lehman, Bear, Bank of Ameria.
C) Monty you know me better than this. I love real-time.
Please Any more Insights, I've come across a number of Tulane posts with solid contributions.
Actually, if you're interested in trading / energy, you should probably wait a month or two, as I just found out Tulane is probably going to roll out a new degree next year, a Masters in Energy Management, that teaches the trading classes, as well as some even more advanced versions of them, along with some computer science for optimization of assets and some corp fin stuff.
