Unregistered You asked this on a high fin track - it looks like you have already made up your mind and would like just a bit of assurance.

TLDR, if you can make it, high finance will pay more. Quite similar to where you might want to aim for, I switched into high finance post MBA (M7) with an (arguably non related) audit background via a BB MBA associate program. Assuming you go to Oxford, you might be able to apply for analyst programs in many shops post your degree.

My advice would be to figure out what you want to do now, heavily network and bag a summer internship and convert from there. Good luck!

Choosing Between Oxford MFE and SMU Juris Doctor

Hi,

I'm at a significant crossroads in my academic and career journey and could really use your insights! I've been fortunate enough to get accepted into the Oxford Master of Financial Economics (MFE) and the SMU Juris Doctor program. I'm still waiting on the results from the NUS Juris Doctor program.

A little background: The Oxford MFE is a 9-month program, whereas a typical Juris Doctor in Singapore spans 3 years. My parents are supportive and willing to fund my education. My undergraduate studies were in Architecture, where I graduated with a First-Class Honours, and I've also scored 338/340 on the GRE. Additionally, I've applied to master's programs in Finance and Financial Engineering at NUS, NTU, and overseas institutions like MIT, Yale, and Columbia.

Here's where I need your advice:

Passion: Although my background is in design, I find myself passionate about various fields. My experience includes internships at several architecture firms, where I adapted to the intense 996 work culture. Both law and finance intrigue me equally, as I've spent a few months exploring the teaching materials in both domains.

Salary Concerns: Salary is a primary consideration for me. While the salary structure in big 4 law firms is quite transparent, I'm curious about the prospects in the job market for someone with a master's in finance, especially without a relevant bachelor's degree.

I'm torn between these paths and would really appreciate your perspectives, especially from those who might have been in similar situations or have insights into these career fields.

TL;DR: Accepted into Oxford MFE and SMU Juris Doctor, with a background in Architecture and high GRE scores. Seeking advice on career prospects and salary expectations in finance vs. law.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I still have the time to transition but I feel like now is the time. PB at BB is >7k and WLB is way better too. Any advice for me?

ur retarded if u think breaking into s&t is easier than ib. much less seats, and only intelligent people gunning for those seats.
