I would be very pleased to read this interview, do you have a link ? Thanks, Olivier

Thanks for your reply Andy. I have to admit that it was exactly what i feared ! Anyway, I will try with perseverance. But at least, having this in mind I will not only focus on NYC, but also on London and Paris.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to anticipate my trip to the US then.

Thanks IlyaKEightSix and Doug for your advices. I have heard about phone interview, maybe it is a possibility.

Hi, In a few months (february), I'll have to find a quant internship. I could apply here, in France, but I would be more interested in such a position in the US or UK. The fact is that I don't know how to proceed: are those positions advertised ? Is there an interview and do you think I...

Thanks Andy, it seems to be what I was looking for !

Hi, I have a short question: Do you know a quant association, possibly an international one, you could recommend me ? Thanks in advance, Olivier

I was in France, the TV was running in background. Then I saw the breaking news at 3pm, and I stand there 2 hours watching something i'll never forget. Later on, I was outside, drinking a coffee. At first no one seemed to know, it was very hot, every one was taking a sun bath outside...

I would bitterly say a working phone... :D but it's unfair. Hope tomorrow update will fix little bugs.

Hi, i've just found a new interesting app for the iPhone, on the appstore, called Options! which computes the price of european options and greeks. The link on the appstore is : http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=290090141&mt=8 And on the web ...

Hi, I am about to start my MFE formation in France, and I need some help for choosing relevant courses. As I have said before, I have a PhD in Math and I want to apply now for a quant position. I have to choose between a course on Time series and a course on risks, assets pricing and asset...

Thanks for your answers, I think about VMWare or something like this to run Windows on my Mac.

That's a good news. To be more precise, I try to learn by myself, since I have a PhD in Math and want to become a quant. So, I need to learn the use of some specific tools, such as MySQL, R, Python, Scilab, and visual basic for instance. Most of them are cross platforms, but it seems that...

That is what I feared... So I need to install Windows on my Mac Intel, or buy a Laptop with windows. Maybe Mac users/fanatics with Bootcamp or Parallels have an experience of this kind of "dilemma" ? Thanks for your answer Andy, and for the very interesting link. Olivier

Hi, I have a simple question as a beginner. I exclusively work on Mac OS X and Ubuntu, and I have to say, I do not like Windows that much. I would like to know if it is possible to keep my favorite OS, or do I have to switch to Windows, to work as a Quant ? Thanks in advance, Olivier

Yes I agree. By pure math, I mean that I have done maths without any application fields in mind.

Hi, I got a PhD in Pure Math in France, specifically in Geometry. But I no longer have the same enthusiasm for fundamental research, while my interest in Financial matters and Quantitative analysis has raised. I wanted to ask you a simple question : do you think my "profile" could allow...
