In T2 city where I could rent a nice place for $1500 and an average-ish place for $1100.

100% not doing an MBA

Make in the 80s plus small bonus for chill 40 hrs.

In ~1 year, could probably be promoted to manager and make $90ish + a little more bonus

You're saying now or after I get promoted? Companies would hire someone as a manager whose only "managing" experience was supervising an intern?

I have no idea how this stuff works.

Indeed is kinda trash. LinkedIn all easy apply jobs and all jobs on corporate websites that only require a resume and an application. Do not apply to jobs that require cover letters unless you really want it. Its a numbers game. 10 to 20 applications a week until you get a job

i graduated ug w a bunch of loans. never giving my $$ to a school again.

not that high given his current (shit) salary. weighed against the sheer fun of the experience and totally changing his earnings trajectory, this is an easy call.

third year associates pull in ~$400k at bulge brackets FYI

trying to help someone out who's trying to get out of a non-business career path and into some kind of bottom barrel analyst role, he's got a bio degree and he's trying to decide if he needs to do some postbacc studies or a 2nd bachelors in finance or business to make it happen

wat do u think, additional study needed?

the problem for him would be his entry point--basically all of our analyst candidates come from OCR. in general, if your resume looks at all promising, we'll send candidates a math test and if they do well, they can get a phone screen.

im not sure how other companies do things. if he were still in ug and claimed he decided he wanted to do business, he'd be fine as long as he did well on math test/cases.
