Domini, Thank you very much for your advise. This is exactly what I need. Since I have time, I want to take the steps and prepare myself for this move. I personally think I can do good at math. I will take your advise and review the Primer to see where I'm at. My engineering background did not...

Alexie, Thanks for your prompt reply. I know my verbal score is shameful. I will need to practice more and retake the GRE, aiming for 800Q and 5-600V. In term of relevant experience, I work in engineering, it's hard to get exposed to the financial side of the business. I'm hoping my MBA degree...

I am aspired to become a quant. I am planning on applying for a good quant program in the next two years. Though it's a bit early, I think I should start preparing now. After reading the resumes of a few successful candidates, I do not think I will make it to a decent school. I would really...

Thanks everyone! I came up with this thought because I thought that since some of the FE grads might end up earning a lot of money and eventually want to invest it and hence, such degree will provide the skill needed to help them become a better/smarter investor ...

MFE got us all excited, it can't just be a goldmine, right? :D

I really think you should talk to your employer and have them sponsored the H1B for you. Since the limit hasn't been met this year, it should be pretty easy. my employer wanted to put me on a 1 year OPT too and apply next year because I didn't have my degree by the first of April but I kinda...

Stefan: Thanks for the advise. I think I like MFE a little better than MBA since it's more technical, lots of math and programming. Should I even try to apply for a MFE program or should I go for the MSME first then apply for MFE later? Thanks!

All, I'm new to the forum, so I would like to say hi to everyone. I graduated May this year and is working full-time as a maintenance engineer. I've been reading around and I think I really like a career as a quant. I think I want something more challenging than an 8 to 5 job. I just don't even...
