  1. Turned down chance at QA. Right move?

    Thanks guys - Yeah, after carefully considering the details, I just went with my gut - it felt right.
  2. Suggestions for obtaining a summer internship?

    Dude. It sounds like you're already on the right track. I only had 1 internship during undergrad. That's all it took to land a good job, though. Now go and have some fun. Make some memories. These will be far more precious to you than an internship at age 12.
  3. Turned down chance at QA. Right move?

    It's been a while QN - How's everyone doing? So, I managed to land two quantitative analysis jobs out of undergrad. They were both entry level analyst gigs. One was a rotational program surveying modeling (hardcore programming), structuring & risk management. They were pretty good firms, too...
  4. Worth it to get MFE at tier 2+ school w/o work experience?

    From what you've written here - I don't think you belong in Finance.
  5. Quants: The Alchemists of Wall Street

    I enjoyed it. :)
  6. Baruch MFE Do i have a chance?

    Did you take the GRE?
  7. First phone call with recruiter

    Well, it depends on the position and company. Usually phone interviews are more of a screening process, though. I would say the best way to prepare is to know a few specifics about the company and have answers ready for those typical false negative questions, e.g., "What is your biggest...
  8. "MFE program profile evaluation" master thread

    :D Just playing around. Good luck to you!
  9. Aspiring Quant - the math way or the econ/finance way?

    This is exactly how my attention was drawn, also. Any online hold 'em stars on quantnet? :D
  10. Cornell FE Cornell Fellowship Awards

    Don't know much about CMU, but if your coming to Cornell you probably want to apply for GRF (Graduate Resident Fellow), also. If you can get housing on West, your golden. Good luck. P.S. I guess the "Top Posters" list and rankings are independent?
  11. Straddle = Call + Put?

    In the European case does it always hold that the value (V_0,) of a straddle (|S_n - K|,) has (V_0 = C_0 + P_0,) Where (C_0) and (P_0) are the values for a call and put respectively. This question seems almost trivially true.... But how to prove?
  12. Is my program choice flawed? and ideas about Columbia's M in Statistics

    I agree with Young, that sounds about right... The 8% who are unemployed, were they looking? Are they still in school? Are they international students? Factors such as these make 8% very reasonable, I believe. I do estimate the value of a name to be very high, not the be-all-and-end-all, but...
  13. Is my program choice flawed? and ideas about Columbia's M in Statistics

    Students with a quantitative graduate degree from Columbia cannot land a single job? Something is wrong here. The name should guarantee the chance to interview, but are these guys only applying to GS quant position or something? @ wsdyx -- Yes, size matters. Don't go stat if you don't want...
  14. "MFE program profile evaluation" master thread

    I'm currently taking Stochastic Process with Durrett! He is actually a really funny guy.
  15. “Hot Girls” Still Love Wall Street

    Probably one of the best things I've read with regards to finance - pendant crise. Which means "during crisis" in Frenglish, btw.
