Representative perspectives

Finance at USC has been a lot of fun and very holistic. The core classes are super helpful with understating everything business related and helps you prepare for getting a job.

Courses & teaching

Finance is interesting in certain way that there is no correct answer for the question, as long as you can find the ground to support your argument. However it is connection-heavy and require resources outside school.

Careers & next steps

feel exciting at the first time but getting tired of networking. math part is manageable but too much competition going on in the market right now
