<p>Hello guys! Which one of these will help me better in getting IB jobs after graduation:</p>

<ol>
<li>MSE in Computer Science</li>
</ol>

<p>or</p>

<ol>
<li>BAS in Computer Science and BA in Economics (Dual Degree)</li>
</ol>

<p>both options would require an extra year (for a total of 5 years).</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>anybody? bumpppppppp…</p>

<p>Option 2.</p>

<p>An MSE in Comp Sci for I-Banking is just overkill, and somewhat undesirable.</p>

4

<p>Thanks for your opinion! Anyone else?</p>

5

<p>Will it be worth the extra year if I do option 2? Or should I just do a 4-year comp sci (my major is comp sci) with minor in ECON?</p>

<p>you shouldn’t be thinking about it this way. You’re either a freshman or sophomore I’m guessing, so I would play it this way:</p>

<p>1) Take your general courses and declare yourself for now as a dual-degree econ and comp sci major (econ is more finance-appealing)
2) Try to get internships
3) If you get an internship and a FT offer, than finish in four years with a minor in econ
4) If you either don’t get a good internship or a FT offer, than take the extra year and claim it was your “original plan” and leverage your greater work experience to do better in recruiting the next year</p>
