No Pun intended but at the Masters level you probably should know the answer to your question. Seek out a career counselor or put together a resume indicating that you have 1 semester until you graduate. This will give you an idea of how many people will call you. Use a different name on the resume...remember you're just trying to get calls. Also use Salary.com to find out what your salary would be for that position.

Yes, go to the career/placement center at the University. They will have lots of "job opportunities" for you to look at that show the salary range. Remember you won't start out at a huge salary, but there will be lots of potential for increases. The sooner you get to the placement center the better, since companies will hire you before you have completed your degree... yes, they want to know you will be there for them when you graduate. Wouldn't that be nice, to have a job waiting for you. You won't have this happen if you don't go looking for those jobs NOW.

I work for a company that teaches you everything you need to know about finances and investments. You can earn while you learn and it is geared where you can do it and remain in college to get your masters. You also can get licensing to have you all set when you graduate If you are interested you may email me for more information. kathyreilly66@yahoo.com

Can you get a Bachelors in Business Administration and from that get a masters in finance
Can you get a Bachelors in Business Administration and from that get a masters in finance?
I may be getting an accelerated degree but they do not offer a Concentration in Finance so I would have to do a Business Admin. Degree but I have always wanted to get my masters in Finance as well so I want to make sure that is possible.

As long as you get accepted into the graduate program you're okay. I would just take a look at those applications to see what kind of info they're looking for and if they have an undergrad degree preference. But really you could go in with any undergrad degree

How will an undergrad accounting degree contribute to a career in finance
How will an undergrad accounting degree contribute to a career in finance?

Ummm... I should hope you could grasp this one by now if you're getting your undergraduate degree in accounting and are moving into finance :P. I majored in both and am finishing my master's of accountancy, and the two fields are EXTREMELY connected. Accounting lets you know the facts behind the numbers and how companies came up with them. In other words, a financial analyst who understands little about depreciation might not understand that two companies, who seem the same when using profitability ratios, might use different methods of depreciation. This can help you weed out some of the accounting gimmicks in financial statements (that us auditors also try to find!) and find the true profitability of the company's operations. If one company is making the same profit as another but using an accelerated depreciation, it's operation could be more profitable than they look. It also gives you a better understanding of inventory valuation methods (though this will not be as big a factor with the coming of IFRS), intangible impairments, and how to read the notes to the financial statements to pick out important topics not shown in the financials. Hope that helped a bit :). There are many other reasons why a background in accounting is great for a future in finance, but those are just a few off the top of my head. Good luck on your applications!

wont be that difficult but it would be alot easier if you have an offer from some company in netherlands before applying for visa , cause that offer can act as a major document(to complete the visa formalities) for getting a work permit

Is Computer Science considred a quantitative major for finance jobs
Is Computer Science considred a quantitative major for finance jobs?
I want to work in investment banking/ finance after college, and was wondering if Computer Science would be a good quantitative major for an undergraduate degree. Ultimately, I want to get an MBA right after or at least a Masters of Finance degree before I start working.

It is and it isn't. Depends on what part of the financial sector you want to apply for, after college. A computer science degree is a definite plus for these institutions, but you would need to have studied some related units. Investment banks would look for specific related units: Quantitative Methods Management Accounting Economics Capital Management/Corporate Finance. A degree in information systems and management fits the bill, but a pure computer science degree is not a pertinent subject, unless you want a job in IT. So, your plan to do an MBA is an excellent career move. Good luck.

I agree with the first answer. I would encourage you to go for your MBA in finance. Have a great day!

If you want to work in investment banking, just note that you need to attend an MBA from a top ranked program. It's as simple as that. Computer science is a great degree to get (assuming you're interested in it), as it allows you real professional work experience in a major company, which is what any half-decent MBA program is going to require.
