Does uni ranking matter?

Jesus you've been brainwashed

The Undergrad uni doesn't even matter once you finish your masters I promise you your employers wont even look at it. Rankings do matter a lot for Masters but you're not guaranteed a 6 figure salary I don't even think Junior Analysts make anywhere near that in the UK.

If you want 6 figures attend a University in America or relocate to America once done with the Masters

err I'm confused are you saying that my masters will compensate for my undergraduate

I mean that's literally the point I raised in the post and you say I'm being brainwashed sorry I can't comprehend what you mean

You did actuarial science right? It depends on what jobs you want if you want finance job I dont think you can get a well paying one with actuarial science as your degree.

And yes your masters will compensate for your undergrad.

Why are you asking students for advice?

if you want to know what matters to employers then ask the bloody employers directly.

the lack of common sense and initiative is more damaging to your career prospects than your university.

You’re a graduate taking careers advice on whether to study a (very expensive) masters degree from someone who hasn’t finished their A levels.

Hey, I might have not done my A Levels but I can tell you Ik more about the real world than some of these 40 year old guys

I didn't specifically direct my questions at such people

perhaps I posted in the wrong thread , for which I do request the moderator to move it into the right one where I can obtain advice on graduate career prospects , but that doesn't mean I am specifically asking students for advice

this is a forum , hence anyone can answer , I do hope that clears your doubts

Why not ask the employers that you want to work for?

instead of applying for masters degrees have you applied for any graduate jobs based in London?

Its definitely possible but obviously harder also let me guess those people attended a University which is targeted by financial institutes most likely based in London, Manchester or Nottingham

I am basing my statement on some of my seniors graduate profiles

search LinkedIn if you want some examples and evidence
