- Hi everyone. Welcome back to my channel. Some of you suggested me film a video on how to pick the right master of financial engineering/quantitative finance program. So here we go~ Happy watching.
If there's any other videos you would like to see, please leave a comment.
00:00 Intro
01:34 How I learned about MFE programs
01:53 How I chose between Master's and PhD
02:40 8 things that helped me make my decision
05:56 Quantnet Overview
08:45 Recs for undergrads
09:51 Recs for professionals
Crazy good video following for apps process
Thank you for sharing your experience and advice, the video was very insightful. I just wanted to ask your opinion on wether or not you would need to go to a one of the top MFE programs that were listed in the video or if you could still get a good job without having access to a top program due to not living in countries like the US or UK.
Great video! Would attaining a CS masters degree from a mid-level private school be an ideal route to pursue a role as a quant? From your experience, how have people with CS background broken through in the industry with their computing background? Do these individuals learn the math/finance necessary on their own or through work experience?
NYU's MS in Mathematics in Finance is 1 1/2 years not 2!! You are mistaken with Tandon's program.
Is Quant Analyst considered Back-office/Middle-office as opposed to Trader (Front-office) at Asset Management Firm?
Could I know which courses that you took in your master program?
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience and giving out so much advice! May I ask what programming language is most needed for a Quant ? Is Python enough or is it better to learn c/c++ ?
Thanks for your question. It depends on the position. For quant developer, C++ and sometimes Java are required. For quant strategist/researcher, python is good enough. Having additional coding skills listed on the resume wouldn’t hurt.
@@to_my_future_self Thank you !!❤
Are most MFE grads working in front office or back office? I heard only elite PhDs will be hired at profit generating positions.
Thanks for your video! helps a lot. Could I know what's program you have finally chosen to study MSFE?
CMU’s computational finance program
你好 美女姐姐 想问下你觉得量化这份工作未来前景 怎么样 会被 ai给影响吗 以及你觉得 这份职业国内未来前景怎么样 谢谢
Does Carnegie Mellon's Master's in computational finance provide full scholarship for International students?
Obviously not.
Thank You for such a valuable information
Btw I had a doubt,
What if someone want to pursue the career in quant and want to do MSCF at age of 26-27 with no prior experience in finance/ economics (but have a Computer Engineering degree)
Can you please tell me what are the odds, like if age is too much or no prev experience can screw me up ???
For the record, I do not hold an MFE degree nor am I super familiar with this field. But, I believe you can probably apply to a standard MSFE/MSCF program with a computer engineering degree. The cost to apply is usually only around $75-100 for an application for these schools and letters of recc. There is a popular idea that it is more easy to go from a technical major (ie. math/engineering) into finance, then it is to go from finance into a technical field. Good luck.
Hi, I am from Liberia, a 2013 graduate of the University of Liberia where I obtained a BBA Degree in Accounting Major and Economics Minor. Now that I am 42 years old and currently living in my home country, can I still study and in becoming a Financial Engineer especially considering my age? What are some of the best ways you can recommend to help me achieve my goa, l because I do not have the financial leverage and want to study this program through a scholarship?
Study programming….try to learn math again…never too late…do what you love…and try the best you can…don’t worry about others’ opinions…that’s job you will do the rest of your life…
