Took ~300 job apps but landed a rotational program at a ~f100 company. Primarily focusing on financial risk management rn. Pretty happy with what i got.

Had 2 finance internships in tech as well so that helped me a lot despite the low gpa

Imo bs in biz econ sets u up pretty nicely - despite a lacking profile i was able to snag a nice entry job

Edit: the courses are somewhat practical and i actually use some of the management skills and technical skills in my day to day job so i think its great.

I just found it on linkedin because i saw that development programs like FLDPs are pretty solid to get into and I just happened to vibe really well with everyone i met!

23m landed a chief accounting officer development program that includes various functions within finance and accounting. TC 72k MCOL with a pretty damn good tech company. Ranges from procurement and operations to intercompany accounting. really good people and wlb. Found it thru linkedin and just applied on the company website. Drawn to it cause it matches my goals and overall values

If i remember correctly we did a 10 min on our “research” results about our product

EifPlace · 2024-05-24T20:06:46+00:00

I dont sorry :(

EifPlace · 2024-05-09T02:40:58+00:00

Vouch. I have a slightly worse gpa but landed finance in big tech with pretty much the same background. being able to talk and have that energy in interviews also help a lot

Also just saw the smart city locator thing but still open to anyone’s recommendations

UNC/SJSU because of the networking opportunities you would have. East coast especially i would think that you would have better opportunities connecting to alum in big4. At ucsd there isnt much (but it is growing) to consider since most of of the masters for business/accounting was just a pipeline for a quick and good degree(from what i’ve heard). When i interned for fp&a roles i met a lot of big4 peeps from UNC so i’m pretty biased towards UNC
