<p>3.0 good enough to get job around 50kish in econ/finance nowadays?</p>
<p>It depends what you mean by “good job”. Will you be working on wall street? Chances are slim and none and slim just… Well, never say never.</p>
<p>if you have a 3.2 you could interview for operations jobs at BBs although I dunno if you could call that “good” lol. 50K+, yes, but exit opps are crap.</p>
<p>you know, when you look at starting salary, they give the median, etc…</p>
<p>Any place where I can get the stats? like, 10% make 80k, etc?</p>
<p>I guess I’ll have around a 3.5, and prob get my masters in finance or accountacny</p>
<p>ops managers dont make 50 k a year, more like 90.</p>
<p>operations manager? prob takes years to get there</p>
<p>state school? you’re going to need a pretty darn good gpa. my opinion is in the 3.7+ range.</p>
<p>and i’m assuming it’s not a target state school such as cal, umich, ucla, or uva.</p>
<p>A 3.0 would be OK. A 3.25 would be better. You don’t need to work in IB to start at $50K. The average finance major from Wisconsin this year will start at over $50K plus bonus and only about 25% of them are in IB. Many are in the financial areas of corporations, commercial banks, mutual funds, etc.</p>

<p>From my experience in the MC and IB firms, I would suggest that 3.5+ is bare minimum, if you are considering the top 3 MC and top 5 IB firms. For ex. Mck very clearly indicates the range to be 3.5 to 4.0. However, there are a number of very good companies in the financial and retail banking sectors, who would not be very rigid, and for their local offices recruit from the flag-ship state universities, with GPA as low as 3.25. Exceptions could be there, esp. for students who have demonstrated a very high degree of leadership skills in activities beyond the class room. The salary range in these firms,usually, is 45k ~ 50k.</p>
<p>For most government job posting, you need at least a 3.0 plus some honors. For Big 4 consulting, you are talking about a minimum of 3.4 and probably 3.5 or better plus strong interviewing skills. I can’t tell you about investment banking since I never applied for that.</p>
<p>im still in CC, so i dont know to much, but i dont think 3.0 will cut it for what you want</p>
