One of the best things about the Georgia State University MSF program is their continual reporting of the success of their graduates as well as the improvements of the GSU Masters in Finance program. The school just reported another success story of a 2019 graduate who earned a wonderful position with Amazon in part because of the great education he received at Georgia State. I will include the full link to the article below. Enjoy!
M.S. in Finance Alumnus Scored a “Prime” Position at Amazon
Dinani completed his M.S. in Finance in December. Dr. Pete Eisemann’s Financial Analysis and Loan Structuring class provided spot-on preparation for his upcoming position at Amazon. By examining different businesses’ balance sheets and liabilities, Dinani got tons of practice structuring loans to meet hypothetical funding needs.
“I came to understand what business efforts actually lead to growth,” Dinani said.
Another useful course: Financial Leadership with Beatty D’Alessandro. In one assignment, Dinani and classmates explored how negative press about a company CEO affected its valuation.
“In that case, the company went from being worth $47 billion to $20 billion in a few days,” he said. “We got only 30 minutes to analyze the problem and present three or four slides in front of the whole class.”
