Hi. I want to apply for master of financial engineering. Ideally I want to be a quant trader at prop shop/ hft. I do not really know what school I should target. I am planning to apply for MFE as fresh out of bachelor grad. Here's my background : - going to state school, well known but very average...
MFE after summer internship?
I recently got an SA offer for S&T at a bank for 2023. Since I'm graduating earlier, that internship would be during the summer after graduation. I'm hoping to get a return offer, but in all cases, I will have at least a year of time with nothing planned after that. I plan to apply to those 1-year...
Is quant trading worth it?
It seems like most quant traders have to work early, 12 hour days for a realistic salary of around 200k a year. Is this truly the salary range of a quant trader with bonuses? How is this worth the time, effort, stress, damage to personal life, and harm to physical health? I am particularly curious...
Georgia Tech Machine Learning
I'm still an undergraduate at Georgia Tech but I plan on getting a master's. There's a guaranteed path for me to do their masters in machine learning if I keep a 3.4 GPA. They also have a really good QCF master's program but I'd have to apply to it and it's very competitive. If I get a master's in...
Applied Finance vs Quantitative Finance
I'm applying to some schools that offer both MS Finance (or Applied Finance) and MS Quantitative Finance. If I meet qualification requirements for both programs, have not decided which route in finance I want to pursue (IB, IM, S&T ...) and mainly care about the job prospective of the two programs,...
Columbia/Stern with low-quant
Everyone says these two schools are for finance people, and I work in education. I have a 740 GMAT (q47, v46). My quant score is probably high enough, but I only have two quant courses (one is UCLA Extension) and work in education where I hardly ever use quant skills at work. Are these schools more...
Programs similar to WUSTL Quantitative Finance
The program at Wash U http://www.olin.wustl.edu/docs/MSFIN/MSFinance_TRACKS.pdf is really tailored to meet the needs of people who don't have extreme computer programming experience and also want a majority of the degree to incorporate corporate finance as well. Any other ideas what schools offer...

Dear monkeys, I am wondering how is job market nowadays for Quants in banks, hedge funds, or as a contractor for one of those, or others... How are doing people straight out of Master QF on the market place for such positions ? What are most available jobs: developer ? quant trader ? models...
Financial Engineering Student
I am a future Financial Engineering Student during the Fall 2014 and I joined WSO to get some insight about the industry and make sure I have extra tools with my education to land an internship and eventually build my career. So anything about "quants" is absolutely welcomed. Thanks
Why nobody switch from CF to S&T/quant?
I am a new monkey just on my 2nd year CF and have 2-yr prior experience in risk management team. I have heard loads of compliants on less bonus, long hours, no life...and I have seen ppl going for MBA degree / going to Corp / PE for their next stage of career. But I have seen very few case to change...
Investment Banker v.s. Quant
An investment banker does merely simple calculations like additions, substractions, multiplications in the job and could start to earn six figures by being in analyst position. I understand that doing IB opens up a lot of exit opportunities and let you equip much better skills than other finance...
Michigan or St louis ?
Can someone tell me which program is better? University of Michigan Ann Arbor's MFE or Washington University St louis's MSF Q-track
Can work experience help you get into MFE / MSF?
Hey guys, I'm starting as a 1st year in BB S&T next summer, but in my last year of college I've realized I'm more interested in quantitative finance than regular S&T . So I think I want to go back and get a MFE or MS in financial math after my analyst stint is over, but I'm going to graduate with a...
