<p>So I want to get into Investment Banking after college, seeing how well I do there, get an MBA and either continuing deeper into IB or doing that and then splitting into another field like HF or PE or maybe even VC. </p>
<p>I am going to Mendoza in Notre Dame (I know its a contro. topic about whether or not its a target or not or blah blah, or if its a good bschool or if its good at finance, but the decision is set). I am definitely majoring in Finance, and also know that I definitely want to double major.</p>
<p>What would be the best compliment for the Finance major to help me with my career path? I was thinking accounting or management or comm. or something.</p>
<p>I have a friend there now and I know for a fact they can only double outside of the B-School, though they can minor within Mendoza. I would double check, I mean they could have changed the policy for the incoming class but I dunno, worth looking into it.</p>
<p>hmm im actually pretty interested in econ, thanks! </p>
<p>so from here on out, do you think i have a good shot at entering the field on wall street? Aside from those majors and getting a good gpa and such, what would be a good game plan for college in order to get into the field in NYC?</p>
<p>I dont think the major matters. So I was interviewing and the interviewer asked me why engineering…and I tried to explain well my interest has always been in finance but I want to quantitative background blah blah blah… he cut me off and he said…“It’s okay, we understand. It doesnt matter. Guess what I majored in, genetics. Guess what one guy in the group majored in, Musicology. It doesnt matter, I was just wondering”</p>
<p>but i think engineering and hard math/science probably tell the potential employer you are not a complete ■■■■■■, because there’s no way you get through an engineering curriculum being a complete ■■■■■■, while you might be able to do that with a music major(not hating, I am just saying it’s possible)…but nothing more than that. So it basically implies higher floor, but the major doesnt have any implications on your ceiling.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s what I was implying, its all about how you spin it… and if you are doing a relatively hard major it can only serve to make you look better if you keep a high GPA. On the job its not that important generally unless you are in S&T in a quantitative product or something.</p>
