在咨询行业就算是Target school 要进去也是有一定难度,所以为自己想了一些退路,学Econ主要是想提升自己的思维分析水平以及往宏观方向拓展一下。选德国主要是学习环境比HK好,自己也有一点德国情节,期望能够在当地留下来工作几年。学校位置在德国的话给我带来的效用提升要高于港校的prestige对于我的效用。
學econ是另一條路, 但econ role 不會是一條可行的退路.
畢竟要找economics, 或是quantitative / analytical 的offer, 難度不會比做consulting低太多.
分別單單是在於少一些的文化差異問題.
You wont have time to prepare for both.
P.S. studying economics as a proxy of finance, and leveraging it towards a job in finance normally only works for the analytical / solid / quantitative side of finance, but not the soft / corporate / managerial side of it, unless the school is a super famous one, and the person has a very suitable personality.
Management, accounting, general finance will be a more suitable proxy (of course from a prestigious school).
