Advice on Princeton ORFE

Well, the program allows you to go in-absentia for a year. I am not sure what he is going to do after that; he has 10 courses of 16 done and may continue part-time after that. Or he may drop out. If I had a $600k opportunity, I'd defer for a year, too.

Out of curiosity, is his internship mentioned in the 2013 internship list on the Princeton Mfin program ? Because none of the firms listed over there would think of offering packages in the range of 500-600K!

No. It's not. It's a long story. I'm not sure how public he wants me to make it. But you can confirm through other sources that a student did take a year off from the Princeton MFin program and that he's making a lot of money this year.

Fair Enough. I understand. Can you at least divulge as to whether he landed this opportunity through his own network or through Princeton Career Services or through some form of online job search/posting ?
 
It was not online and it was not directly through Princeton Career Services. (Actually, most jobs for Princeton MFins don't come through career services.)

I guess he probably was contacted and recruited by a headhunter then.
