Do you need a *master of science* in finance? I got into a program that is a “master in corporate finance” at a good uni in europe… does anyone see a problem with the title or the fact that it’s not MSc?

Never heard of that type of degree before. What’s uni is it?

Not trying to be rude, but a master’s degree in finance is generally pointless.

MBA is king.

Hi fishes,

I am a strategy consulting enthusiast from a middle class family. Don't have the financial stability to take a loan for an MBA and hence had to drop some renouned admits this year (Think top IIM's) due to family circumstances. I still dream big and request you to provide some insights for my research:-
1) Average expected package of an associate
2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate (not BCN)
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews

Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.

Hi everyone
My brother wants to buy Financial modelling and valuation analyst (FMVA) by Corporate

course. It is costing me around 30000 for Normal self study and 70000 for
full immersion/premium pack. (I don't
know about the placement assistance but need it so that he can get placed as he is a 2020 grad)
Is this course worth buying or anyone
has done this certification, help him to
take the correct decision.

Can someone help me listing companies which have any sort of reimbursement policy or support (eg. Sabbatical) for employees who wish to opt for further studies? Full time or part time
TIA
