I was wondering how PSE is viewed among employers in the US? I was admitted into their Sustainable Impact Analysis MSc and am hoping to return back to the US after graduation. I don’t speak French and while I would try my best to learn while there, I don’t think employment in France would be possible. My understanding is its lesser known in the US than other European institutions like LSE which I was also admitted to but the cost for that is too much.

I have 5 years of experience in corporate FP&A and was in a non-finance, quantitative role for 3 years before that, so no environmental experience. I'm tired of pure profit based motives and want to get into a sustainability focused career. I also feel the scope of FP&A, at least in corporate, is smaller than what I would like. I would love to have a role influencing the investment decisions for sustainable development initiatives or conservation efforts.

Has anyone else made a similar transition? Is there any qualification I would need to do this? I was accepted into a sustainable impact analysis masters program but am wondering if a masters is even necessary if I could just utilize my experience instead.

Thanks in advance for any help.
