Advice for Engineering Undergrad
I just found this forum this weekend, some really informative topics and a lot of helpful, funny people. I think it's a great resource. I did some searches for information for engineering majors, but there's generally not much, it seems most people are majoring in finance (or close variants) here, just wanted to get some advice for an undergrad engineering major who wants to work in S&T at graduation.
As an undergrad in canada, uwaterloo, finishing second year, I've done the csc, and I've got an internship (co-op) next year on the trading floor at a major bank, working with algo trading and other things they probably would dish out to interns. I'm I'm taking a lot of extra courses on the side to take quantitative finance classes in fourth year. I have plans to take the derivative fundamentals course to bolster my knowledge. What else can I do to make myself an attractive candidate upon graduation to be recruited into an excellent analyst training program, either in canada or the states? I'm just thinking it'll be tough trying to compete with all those grads from finance majors.
Thanks!
Good news: banks love engineers. From what you've posted, you already seem a more viable candidate than many of the finance/econ/business majors that I know. Keep working hard, network, and you should be fine.
thanks for the encouragement, b! i'm actually looking to get into the states to work for a BB s&t internship, perhaps next year. but i think recruitment at canadian schools isn't as prevalent as it is in the states, so it's tough to get found. I'll just have to keep on working hard and smart.
