AB Economics, Harvard University, c.u.m laude MA Modern European Studies, Columbia University Thesis on Modern Political Economy of the EU _______________________________________ Does this sound like a good CV so far? Would it help me find a decent career in finance, consulting or government? Is going from Harvard to Columbia seen as a step down?

sounds like an amazing cv. no, not a step down. columbia is an excellent school. but for consulting and finance, you can pursue those right after harvard, no extra education needed

Never mind what it sounds like.........do what you love to do. Obviously it sounds good if you have a Harvard and Columbia degree. Personally, I would not get a Masters degree from the same school I got my bachelors from. Plus, are you going to work while getting your Masters? If that's the case you need to be near the workplace and school while attending. So in other words your resume sounds good for you but what have you done to improve the world through work experience? Unless you've got a full ride to get your Ivy League Masters Degree, I'd get a job with a company who'll pay your way while getting your Masters. A friend of mind worked for General Motors in Detroit and they paid his way to get his Masters and PhD at Stanford University. He earned those degrees and work for GM for another 7 seven years and left when they started to cut back on his department. Not to mention he moonlighted as a Professor at U of M. This way the company pays but more importantly you're gaining valuable work experience that could be used against the other person who may just have a degree and no work experience for the job you want.
