I was looking at this online certificate it appeared interesting but I also noted the focus on R. IlyaKEightSix, you mention the R finance universe, what is that? I thought c++ was the standard.

How old is too old to start a career in quant finance? maybe a risk role or another job that is non-programming intensive? I ask because I am over 40, with degrees in finance and work in finance operations, but I am fascinated by quant finance. I am preparing for an MFE by taking C++, math...

I think we all understand that the strength/weakness of the job market is of primary importance, but to me a 85%+ placement is the point, not whether this year is 95% vs 100% last year. I have also done some homework on the local programs and I see a great deal of difference between the Baruch...

Why in the heck would I want to go to a school that has a 70% placement rate vs another that has a 100%? This...
