re: High level finance class is a new level of intense

I’m almost done with my program and there are three areas where my knowledge base has really grown:
1) Valuation techniques and building DCF models
2) Econometrics, especially as it relates to marketing mix modeling (namely using and interpreting multiple regression)
3) Leadership philosophies and frameworks

Everything else has basically been a wash for me that I studied in undergrad. The people with non-business backgrounds get more out of the classroom.

Statistics used to really be a weak point for me and now I would argue it is becoming a strength. It was the single biggest transformation for me academically.
