Opinions on what to do next?
Im third year student at top public school majoring in an engineering field and economics. My GPA to be honest is quite garbage (3.3) and I know for fact that it is way below the threshold for MBB and even Tier II and III firms. So I was wondering if Its worth networking and trying to get an interview or should I just continue to get engineering internships and try to do a Masters in Finance or Business Analytics and apply with the new graduate school GPA? If you're wondering why my current GPA is so low, that is due to the fact that I transferred schools and I only had major related classes left. On top of it I developed major test taking anxiety, which has improved significantly.
Side note: I'm a third year student but I'll be taking 5 years to graduate.
Relax man. Fuck the masters. Get some work experience, kill the gre/GMAT then do a t15 mba.
Your gpa is not THAT bad brah, especially for STEM.
For test taking anxiety..try visualisation techniques.
ill definitely keep that in mind! However, the one reason why I was thinking about the masters is because its an integrated program so I don't have to take the GMAT and its like 30K instead of like 100K+. Also I was wondering if you think with networking its possible to get interviews for Deloitte/PwC/Accenture Tech Consulting?
Do any corporate roles appeal to you? Start-ups? Plenty of hard analytical work available though it won't necessarily be engineering related.
Your GPA really isn't that bad but anyway you can pull it up to a 3.4-5 by graduation? That should be more than fine for tech at Deloitte based on recruiting at my school for commercial S&O. It definitely won't hurt to speak with a few S&O and tech analysts if you can this summer. Deloitte focuses a lot on networking so every good encounter you have with their employees helps. At some point, once you're a bit more familiar with them, be more candid and ask about your chances of recruiting via OCR.
