  1. Finance jobs in non-finance firms.

    I am a freshman undergrad and am pretty drawn to the idea of a career as a quant, but if I ultimately decide not to pursue that, how would a degree in Applied Math w/ OR minor, or a degree in OR w/ many econ+finance electives, be looked upon for the jobs you are speaking of?
  2. Superbowl XLIV prediction

    I like the Saints, theyre more of a balanced team i'd say. Peyton Manning carries that team on his back
  3. Columbia MSOR Columbia OR:FE Undergrad?

    Ok, thats good to know. So what kind of career would that program lead to, if not quant?
  4. Columbia MSOR Columbia OR:FE Undergrad?

    Right. The two programs are: 1. OR 2. OR/FE (technically an OR major with FE concentration) Now I was wondering if the OR/FE program, specifically, has any sort of reputation, and how effectively it prepares its students for careers as quants. (I am speaking strictly of undergrad, not...
  5. Columbia MSOR Columbia OR:FE Undergrad?

    Columbia University's engineering school offers a major in Operations Reseach/Financial Engineering, and I was wondering what kind of reputation the program has? And also what types of opportunities it presents, strengths or weaknesses of the program, etc? Thanks for answering! -Gordo...
  6. Life of a quant

    Thanks a ton for the answers you guys Ok, so a quant can expect to work 70-80 hrs/week. i mean I'm sure quants expect to have families at some point, so say 10 years or so into your career, is there a sector that quants can switch over to and use their experience to still make a good amount...

  9. Best Major/minor combo

    Ok thanks a lot you guys, I'm almost ready to leave u alone ;) So you seem to agree on that fact that because I plan to go for an MFE, that it would be unnecessary to major in FE undergrad, and I should focus on math and CS. So would u recommend a CS major with applied math minor or vice...
  10. Best Major/minor combo

    Ok, would there be any chance tthough that as far as getting into a top MFE program, that having that FE major would help at all? And thanks a lot for the responses u guys :prayer:
  11. Best Major/minor combo

    Thanks for the response! Ok so you said it also depends on whether I plan to go directly into a masters program. Is your recommendation of FE/comp sci for that scenario? Because that's what I'd hope to do. ---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM...
  12. Best Major/minor combo

    Best Undergrad Major/minor combo I am currently halfway done with my freshman year in the engineering school at Columbia. I just recently decided I'd like to pursue a career as a quant, and I was wondering what the best path would be. To me, it seems that major in FE and minor in comp sci...
