    Want to study PhD in Finance - best way to go?

    I think if you wanted to get a degree to bolster your application, it would be some sort of Masters in Math. Shorter time commitment, more rigorous courses. You might need to study up a bit beforehand.

    Poll: let's do our own ranking.

    Bitcoin - a new kind of currency

    Price is back up to about 5 and half USD, and is kind of holding there. Certainly nothing peaking my interest yet to come back to it.

    McKinsey vs. Quant

    What type of consulting would you be doing? If it was financial consulting or something similar, I'd probably go that route. I just think it would be more interesting. I would assume with all of the connections you'd make (especially at a place like that) it wouldn't be too hard to get a...
