    I'm with everyone else, take the job.
  2. Quants love poker?

    The bible of poker players is Doyle Brunson's Super System. Read through it a couple times and then just begin playing in small Limit games. That's the best way to learn.
  3. Do you buy all the books that are recommended on this site?

    I also bought all the books in the Interview section and checked out the Wall Street Culture section from the library. I also recommend buying the Hull book since that book is used by everyone. I call it the bible.
  4. Quants love poker?

    I read that as quantitative pokemon and thought "how do I catch that?". /facepalm /wrongforum

    On my list for this year are the HP TouchPad, the Pre 3, Amazon Kindle and the HP Envy 14 (although I'm waiting for a new version).
  6. NYC Drinks - QuantNet meet up?

    Even though it was beginner's luck Bob calls me a ringer. :) I assure you that none of the pages in the notebook were burned. It was handy for recording useful advice.
  7. NYC Drinks - QuantNet meet up?

    Thanks again for the notebook and yes I still have it. I made good use of it last night.

  10. Columbia MSOR Columbia MSOR or Fordham MSQF

    It's only in its fourth year so other than what I'll call the "first year debacle" as witnessed on the Wilmott forums the program is still trying to build a reputation for itself. There are relationships with employers and alumni to help with internship placement and the program does keep track...
  11. Columbia MSOR Columbia MSOR or Fordham MSQF

    I'm currently in the Fordham MSQF program so I can answer your question. If you're looking for more advanced aspects of C++/Java/Python then Fordham is not the place for you. There is only one C++ course and it is really only an introductory object-oriented programming course. It gives an intro...
  12. Hi I'm Richard, Not Chinese

    It’s been a busy summer for me between the wedding planning, the summer refresher course and studying for the CAIA Level II exam. I hope to catch up with my blog posts by the end of the week. Today’s post will focus on the summer refresher course. I will follow it up with a post about the...
  13. Prerequisites and Summer Courses for Fordham MSQF

    I thought now–before the program starts–would be a good time to go over the application process, prerequisites and summer courses. I won’t rehash the application requirements that can already be found on the Fordham website: I’ll focus instead on what happens after the application is submitted...
  14. Win or Go Home, A Quant student blog

    Thanks for the comments everyone. Makaveli, I've gotten sucked into WoW before. I finally quit for good sometime last year. That's why in the past year I've applied to an MFE program, sat and passed the CAIA Level I exam in March (studying for Level II in September), and just recently sat...
  15. Win or Go Home, A Quant student blog

    "Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise."– Kobe Bryant I chose the above quote for my introductory post because it will set the tone for what I hope to accomplish in this blog. I will be attending Fordham University’s MS in Quantitative Finance...
