Advice needed: Double degree vs. Finance vs. Accounting vs. Acturial (1 Viewer)

I heard double degree tends to get better jobs in IB (finance) but not really sure about that.

I think "double degree" is a more subtle way of saying Comm/Law only

And I saw on the other thread how people were saying that Acturial grads can do whatever Finance grads can do but not the other way around. Is this sort of saying Actuary is a superset of Finance? This is sort of what I'm confused about I guess.

I think its more cause there isn't much to learn for basic Capital Market Finance. Thats why you see so many Actuarial and Accounting and Engineering grads in "finance" jobs.

On another note, I've also come to realise, the actual 'traditional' IBD (i.e. M&A) doesn't actually have much Finance involved so I think its a bit of a stretch to classify it as a Finance job. I think thats why there are just as many non Finance grads in it as there are finance grads.
