As a route into trading good sir?CA at big four, plus experience.
Jump over to Ibank doing control and operations.
Then do your CFA
Thats probably how I would do it

Probably better to do a mathsy honours then get a shitkicker quant role then work towards your CFA - honours will put you on par with american bachelor students.As a route into trading good sir?
For some (read: most) the prospect of spending another 4 years at uni for the small chance of getting a job in trading is unreasonable.Probably better to do a mathsy honours then get a shitkicker quant role then work towards your CFA - honours will put you on par with american bachelor students.
Didn't mean it like that - I meant a finance honours which is quite mathematics intensive.For some (read: most) the prospect of spending another 4 years at uni for the small chance of getting a job in trading is unreasonable.
If I could get into honours I wouldn't be making a thread abou masters ^_^Didn't mean it like that - I meant a finance honours which is quite mathematics intensive.
So you're saying that entry into a MFin is going to be easier than getting a job OR into honours?If I could get into honours I wouldn't be making a thread abou masters ^_^
which uni do you go to?I know a lot of people who had hoped to get into the finance sector but with employment levels so low a lot of people have missed out. I know a few (incl myself) are thinking of doing a Masters in Finance after our bachelors. However, just thinking about it, I'm wondering how much that extra year will help. I think it's a reasonable assumption that at the end of a 3 year commerce degree, that if you haven't secured a job in the finance area you most likely don't have any internship experience within the field as most intern roles lead to grad offers (maybe not in the current climate but usually). You can't apply for internships at the end of the final undergrad year, because you aren't penultimate even though you intend on another year of masters. So you start your MFin degree in Feb after graduating from your undergrad degree, apply for graduate jobs in March starting next Feb (even though you don't even have 1 semesters worth of results for your MFin degree yet) and have to apply for the graduate streams, which are a lot harder to get into than via an internship - still without any internship experience. To top it off most Masters students marks aren't the greatest (otherwise do Honours). Am I missing something? Or is it normal for MFin students to graduate, then apply for graduate job the following recruitment season, effectively spending 2 years post-grad before commencing work?
Yep Mfin is generally overseas graduates, people who didnt get a job/honours, and some professionals who want to upgrade their skills.So you're saying that entry into a MFin is going to be easier than getting a job OR into honours?
Yes, MFIN would be the easiest option of the 3So you're saying that entry into a MFin is going to be easier than getting a job OR into honours?
Can be used as a change of major.I'm surprised it's even possible to do MCom after a BCom? It seems the MCom is basically a condensed version of BCom, the subjects all look like identical to the undergrad stuff.
Do a MFin if you can't get a good job. But then again if you can't get a good job on a BComm, you probably won't get one with the MFin anyway.So you're saying that entry into a MFin is going to be easier than getting a job OR into honours?
Yeah, that's pretty much the whole reason I made this thread, to explore this issueDo a MFin if you can't get a good job. But then again if you can't get a good job on a BComm, you probably won't get one with the MFin anyway.
I thought that unsw had work placement or something like that.. maybe it was only for engineering..Yes, MFIN would be the easiest option of the 3
UNSW
Work placement is for engineering (you have to find your own placement though, it's not just given to you). It's compulsory to complete it before you are allowed to graduate.I thought that unsw had work placement or something like that.. maybe it was only for engineering..
and if you were to compare unsw to other unis is supposably to be the better ones.. and if their graduates cant get employed then its concerning..
See thats what I was thinking too...Do a MFin if you can't get a good job. But then again if you can't get a good job on a BComm, you probably won't get one with the MFin anyway.
That's what I can confirm with you.See thats what I was thinking too...
