Wilmott certificate in quantitative finance

Curious to know if anyone has done this. Is it worth it? Pretty pricy, but you learn a shit ton of stuff. Obviously not as valuable as a MSF or an MBA from a top program but wondering if it will give any sort of edge in terms of jobs in trading/research.

Sales & Trading Mock Coffee Chat

“Markus was incredibly generous with his time and expertise throughout my Goldman Sachs Sales & Trading HireVue preparation. He didn't just review my answers, he taught me how to think about what interviewers are actually listening for: conviction, specificity, and the ability to defend a number rather than just state one. He pushed back on answers that were too polished or vague, and encouraged real honesty in the harder questions rather than letting me smooth over anything uncomfortable, which made a genuine difference in the quality of my prep. His questions, particularly the AI-focused ones, forced me to think much more critically about my own experiences rather than recycling generic stories. I feel significantly more prepared going into this process because of the time he invested in helping me get here.”

Considered it. Very good content. Hella hard (exclusivity alsways good). But overpriced beyond belief. I can add many more worthwhile things on my CV with +$20k. It's also not as well-regarded. CQF is something to invest in if you're already down a quant-career track and looking to update/refresh your skillset.
