Could you say something about your profile, like university. And since you got the interview, are you a foreign resident. Just asking ...

Brilliant!!! Kind a scary, but Brilliant!

Apart from trading, structuring products (pretty difficult to come by): where else would you need financial engineers. This might be a dumb question, but nonetheless I got to start somewhere.

I have heard this many times that the quant job market these days have more quant than the demand. Finance does not offer much job opportunities anymore. How much of this is true. Or is the market trend going to change in couple of years for better. Also, is the market for financial...

Hello guys, For people who will be joining mfe/msmf starting this fall, will probably graduate by 2011. I have read things that support the idea that there would be an increase in quant (technical) roles. On the other hand I have also read that jobs will decrease. Any ideas as to what the...

I do not know much about Cornells' program, but if it were to be the same with that of Columbia's MSOR (big possibility), I would avoid it. But, thats JUST ME!!! I would try to get into a full fledged MFE/MSMF program.

Rutgers: Well structured program. Teaching you the skills you need to succeed in the interview Columbia: Huge class size and mis match of classes, but brand name to get interviews. If you can gather the skills, then you will get the job

I am seriously not trying to challenge you or anything ...but, honestly want to know what happens if most MSOR students want to do the same and get in those classes

I absolutely understand the distance and Rutgers not being in the top 10, BUT Columbia MSOR is not a good option either. I think you got in NYU. Well, ofcourse that would be the best option. No doubt! But, if I were to choose between MSOR and Rutgers. I would go for the later, as I will be able...

CONSIDERING YOU GET PERMISSION!!! Thats the catch!

You can get in anywhere you would like.

Completely agree!!! I think a program should give you the skills you would need. It might be difficult to get an interview initially, but in the end when you get an interview, you will succeed.
