  1. Anyone interviewed with GSAM lately?

    Equity Strat position. I heard the interview is pretty different from typical desk quant interview (heavier on stats/econometric). Does anyone has experience with them? also, seems like they are doing pretty bad last 2-3 years. Is it a good time to join them? (I'm a risk quant in HF with 3y exp)

  2. Back Office IT to Quant/S&T

    I kind of make it now. although not in trading yet, I'm now working as hedge fund quant in risk modeling from one year BB IT. I think I'm in a much better position now if I want to do investment analysis and portfolio management in the future. It is not that difficult but the difference between...

  3. Career Path for Quant in Risk Modeling?

    We don't use VaR or market standard models but mostly stress and scenario test plus our own factor models. Most of them are proprietary so I can't share the ideas :)

  4. Career Path for Quant in Risk Modeling?

    Hi, I'm now working as a quant in risk modeling team of a top tier HF (Not a quant fund). Main responsibilities are modeling and analyzing the risk for entire fund incl equity/distress bond/MBS. All models we use are developed in house from scratch. My career goal is to become a portfolio...

  5. CMU MSCF Reject after CMU MSCF interview

    Do I need a MFE degree if I already work as quant? I think MBA is a better choice

  6. CMU MSCF Reject after CMU MSCF interview

    Which forum i posted? :) MSCF

  7. CMU MSCF Reject after CMU MSCF interview

    Really weird. Did good in interview and my referral prof also says "extremely surprise" (he is one of prof in MSCF Steering Committee). But it is fine for me. Ironically, I got a quant offer from a top hedge fund on the same day. Don't know whether I should happy or not :)

  8. UCB MFE Anyone get UCB MFE admission with one interview?

    Thanks. I think i will get CMU offer because I got interview and did it well. Do you think I can use that to push them?

  9. UCB MFE Anyone get UCB MFE admission with one interview?

    I saw some updates in tracking system. Do anyone get admission with just one technical interview?

  10. North Carolina State University Financial Mathematics program

    I attended NCSU's MFM and think this is a good evaluation. As mentioned, biggest plus is the cost, especially for in-state students. I paid one semester what one class costs in a private school. One drawback is the program is taught by academic mathematicians/statisticians so some coursework may...

  11. UCB MFE Anyone who interviewed in March get response?

    OK. Thanks for sharing. Then we should be fine. I heard usually they would conduct a final behavior interview for those qualified people but didn't hear anyone get it this year. Probably they change their policy a bit.

  12. UCB MFE Anyone who interviewed in March get response?

    How many interviews have u had? Did you have non-technical interview?

  13. UCB MFE Anyone who interviewed in March get response?

    How many interviews have u had? Did you have non-technical interview?

  14. OOP is out of the CMU Computer Science Introductory Curriculum

    CMU CS kids don't need a course to learn C++. Professors only teach them how to think in abstract way. Writing code is considered as lowest requirement.

  15. What do I do?

    They said in email they only want students with pure math background? That's not possible. Not school would do that. If you are guessing the reason, you can stop now because that doesn't help at all. I guess you may not have enough failures in your life and feel excuse about the bad result. For...
