What do you mean? S&T is by definition front office, so they are not “also very competitive for front office positions”. They are working in FO.



Not to mention that S&T is where investment banks generate most of their revenue.

So basically the bottom line is if you want to maximize your chances at getting a front office job at an Investment Bank, go to Ross, and if you specifically want to get into Trading, pair that with a math or other quanty minor.

However EEPurdue, you should guage how interested you are in Electrical Engineering and how interested you are in Finance. I mean, I’m sure bearcats can attest that Investment Banking is no walk in the park (hours are very very bad). Maybe S&T is different, but I’ve heard through family friends that those analyst years in IB are rough.

If you truly are interested in Electrical Engineering, I’d just say get a degree in that and work at top-notch company for 3-5 years and if you find out you want to do something different get an MBA and rebrand yourself for Investment Banking associate jobs.
