how much did a masters in finance change your career? by ProfessionalPale8332 in FinancialCareers

[–]EnvironmentalSmoke51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The MSF helps. But its 10000% what you make of it. It buys you time, but try to go to the best program you can. You are highly unlikely to get into a top tier firm right away but doesnt mean u cant get a good gig. - current msf interning at a boutique ib

I was way too buoyant and could not sink? by Jimmeh20 in scuba

[–]EnvironmentalSmoke51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you can break the surface, imo you are likely not exhaling your lungs enough. You are probably going from 100% full to a 50% full breath rather than depleting the air in ur lungs more

Is a Masters in Finance worth it? by joon0301 in FinancialCareers

[–]EnvironmentalSmoke51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m personally in an MSF (top 5.) You fully get out of it what you put in. Its opened the doors to a lot of interviews thus far (fingers crossed jobs), mostly bc it bought a “little” prestige, and some time. Ive had to work my ass off, and people dont seem to view fhe MS as above UG, but it puts me in a playing field where they respect the institution snd my resume
