Work or enjoy college

Hey guys,

I’ll be completing my bachelor’s study next year and I really want to enjoy the last couple of months of going to campus and hanging out with friends before becoming a corporate slave and having no social life for the foreseeable future.

I’m currently interning at an equities l/s hedge fund in London almost full time. while the learning opportunity is unparalleled and they have a spot for me after I graduate, I can’t help but miss the fun college times I’ve had before this job.

So my options r 1) stay with them and start full time job after I graduate next year 2) leave my current internship to pursue a master in finance degree, and then search for analyst jobs at investment banks

the upside for 2nd option is that I’m pre sure starting salary at banks r higher than my current fund, and I will have a masters degree, let alone more more time to enjoy college. however the obvious downside is I lose a guaranteed full time job opportunity with my fund next year.

any insights would be very much appreciated.

 

I’m expecting around £38-40k all in for me; the fund is still raising capital so comp won’t be that good at this moment

 

What kind of bonus are we talking about in addition to this?
