(URGENT) Current LSE undergrad deciding between LSE Msc accounting and finance and imperial Msc accounting and finance
Hi guys, first post! Need some urgent advice please!
Just graduated from lse studying econ (first) and deciding between where to do my masters. Currently hold an offer from LSE for Msc accounting and finance and imperial business school for Msc Finance and Accounting. I'd like to go into IB and will be applying for summers this year. I've just finished an internship at a boutique TMT IB in london and also a lowertier bank in leverage finance.
What do you guys recommend for getting my foot in the door at one of the BB's. Initially i was set on going to imperial to get another brand name of a 'target uni', however, im concerned that LSE is the stronger choice given its rep in banking.
Really appreciate any advice!! Thanks! :)
LSE.
Target undergrad + target masters is a good combination to have. Doesn't really matter that it's at the same university.
Is it common for undergrad students from targets to do masters or is this an outlier/Covid related thing? I only ask because I'm considering going to LSE for undergrad and I was under the impression that I could land a full time banking job out of undergrad without having to do a masters later on.
Also interested, but for UCL
Some do masters, some don't there is a lot of variation on this one. But you don't NEED to do a masters to break into banking it's more of a second chance in case you weren't happy with your firm/offer, didn't convert or simply didn't land an internship.
LSE
You'll have more options post-school, not even close. Such stronger grad options. It doesn't matter you went there 2x.
