Hi,

I am a freshman in NYU Stern, and apparently Stern is not among top-tier IB/Wall Street feeders. I hope I can get into IB/Consulting industry once graduate to pay off my education loans (will definitely move on to grad school after working for a couple of years).

That said, I think to secure a job is still the most important thing for me since, as I said, I hope to get a job right away after college. So, I’m thinking of the following majors/combinations of majors. Please give me your advice! Thanks in advance!


Finance only: maybe I can just concentrate on one thing and get somewhat desirable GPA
Accounting: job-wise, I heard accounting was stable and easy to get jobs.
Accounting + Finance
Finance + Math Major(in College of Arts and Science)
Finance + Math minor
