I just received the most recent placement report for the MIT Master in Finance program and wow, another great year. With 80% of the class seeking employment and of those looking, a 95% placement rate. Very good and all at top notch firms.

Solid salary data, representative of the bulge bracket finance offers that students are receiving. With salary and placement data like this the demand for the program will continue to grow. Every big bank hires MSF students, in addition to well known investment management firms, buy side PE shops and hedge funds. This is the best of the best, exactly what I would expect from a school such as MIT.
