What if the job market still sucks after Master?

Hi guys. I am about to start my master's degree in Finance in Germany and I wonder what to do if the job market in Frankfurt does not recover in 2022 or gets worse due to the economic depression coming our way. Should I do a pHD if that happens?

 

Am in the same spot as you, brother, and I guess I will just take up the next shmuck job that comes my way, be it DAX CorpFin or some financial stuff like commercial banking (shudder). Good luck with your master and always remember, CoBa is not and will never be a BB, EBS is not a target anymore and Offenbach stinks.

 

Well, the way I see it, Bruder, in extremis I either get any "decent" finance job and prepare for an MBA in 5 years, or try to do a pHD afterwards. We'll just have to see what 2022 will bring.

Übrigens, Bruder, if you don't mind me asking: Do you know which German universities have good pHD in Finance or Economics?
