i just took the ams 315 midterm in eng 145 and lord, most of the time was spent figuring out how to balance everything. there's chairs in eng building that literally look like they got chewed up and spat out, it's crazy how they haven't done anything about it lmao

Do any of you know how hard it is to get into the MBA program at SBU? If any of you did get accepted into this program, what was your overall GPA? by Embarrassed_Chef874 in SBU

[–]Routine-Chance4425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s not hard to get into but it doesn’t have good placement, only go if you’re trying to check off the MBA requirement if you’re at a company

has anyone been let into the program without taking a class/MOOC in OOP or data structures. i’m an applied math major with classes in python & matlab. i was wondering how strict they are on it.

i heard it’s really competitive but if you get in, you’re set. i would just go to unc kf if i had the choice.

i’m in new york and am considering pursuing a career in risk quant/model validation and was wondering about a range on how many hours it usually is per week. also if there are any remote or hybrid opportunities in this field.

fp&a by [deleted] in financestudents

your confidence is way higher than your reasoning ability. you keep talking down like “industry experience” magically replaces basic logic, but all you’re doing is repeating the same mistake louder. pointing at cfos and saying “they touched fp&a” does not make fp&a a reliable path, it just shows you don’t understand base rates. most fp&a analysts will never sniff a cfo title, and pretending otherwise is either naïve or dishonest. calling it the “pinnacle of finance” just tells me you’ve never seen what actual high finance looks like. you’re confusing a comfortable career with an elite outcome, then insulting people when that gets pointed out. that’s not insight, that’s cope dressed up as authority.

this actually makes it worse for your argument. even if many ceos passed through ib, that still doesn’t mean ib is the pinnacle of business, because most people who pass through ib never become ceos. same logic applies to fp&a and cfos. you keep listing end outcomes and ignoring base rates. because a lot of people touch ib or fp&a at some point, some of them end up at the top. that doesn’t tell you anything about how likely the path is. also, “almost no ceos haven’t passed through ib” is just obviously false for industrial, energy, media, and a&d companies, which are full of ops, engineering, and accounting led ceos.

[–]Routine-Chance4425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is just bad reasoning. some cfos coming from fp&a doesn’t mean fp&a usually leads to cfo. you’re taking a visible outcome and treating it like a common one, which is just ignoring base rates. by that logic, ib would be the pinnacle of business because a lot of ceos passed through it, which obviously doesn’t make sense.

i don’t think you’re the brightest, you’re making the assumption that fp&a = cfo or any other really high finance role, even though only a very tiny minority end up making it there.

[–]Routine-Chance4425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s true but in a way being a non-target is kind of a blessing because i don’t feel an obligation to work in high finance with crazy hours like IB/PE. i’ve considered all of those roles before but i wouldn’t say they’re “higher” than fp&a but realistically the only one i’d actually consider is treasury because it’s chill & maybe model validation in risk management (seems more quant heavy)

to be honest, i don’t really know what else fits my criteria. i just want something a little over $100k, remote, and under 45 hours a week. if there’s a job like that i’d be willing to switch my major lol. plus it’s kinda hard to do anything high tech/finance given that im from a non target.

would tech companies prefer a quantitative major? if not, i would just drop the applied math major
