"Some people on this board are pretty dismissive of being in a software development role; they say that if you get pigeonholed there at an IB you may just miss the boat on getting to the front office. (I am probably oversimplifying.)" Hey Doug, I did not understand this part. Could you please...

Financial Software development is certainly one of the fields that I am interested in. But the MFE program also has a lot of programming/ algorithm courses which can prove to be useful. I guess you are right when you say that opportunities like this can be entertained at a later time. Right...

Hi, I recently graduated with my Bachelors in Computer Engineering and Minor in Math. Currently working on an internship with a bank as Strategic/Information Systems analyst ( I have to deal with Business Intelligence issues). I am going to start my MS in FE degree in Fall 2008. But something...

Hi, You have to decide whether you want to join Finance or quantitative finance. Just in a nutshell.....Quantitative Finance and financial engineering involve lots of coding but the Finance field that you mentioned over here does not have any programming courses. Financial engineering is a...

What other schools did you get accepted in ?? I haven't heard of the Texas program. Is it Quant oriented or just an MS in finance?? And I'd stay away from Fordham.

The Guide to Careers in Financial Markets is a good book. I don't know how I missed it. Thanks for posting it. :dance:

Silly me .... I guess I overlooked it. Thanks Dough

My final objective is - After I get this list of 300000 users and their account information ....I will arrange them in the descending order of the amount they have in their accounts. After this I have to break this list ( which is already in descending order) into groups of 30000 users each ...

How would you populate the list after separating the values???

SQL QUERY- select d.row_wid, d.x_hhold_num, deposits_end_bal from w_household_d d, wc_hhold_balhstry_f f where d.row_wid = f.household_wid order by deposits_end_bal desc QUESTION The above query generates a list of all the customers in the descending order of amount they have in their...

to chooseroption.... What programming language does Kent Focus on for MS FE??

This is really an eye opener about the Kent program. But do you think that they deserve some good points because they do find internships for their students? I mean .... I haven't heard of any program that does that....so at least they are helping students get their foot in the door somehow...

Hi Chooseroption, Thanks for posting about the Kent MSFE program. I have a few concerns since I am trying to go there- 1) Does every student get an internship. 2) If you are able to find an internship that the school did not find for you , are you allowed to do that ? 3) If you guys are just...

To Alain, You don't have to give out random advice to people. That is the worst thing you can do. People like me come here for advice and if you do not want to help people then kindly don't mislead them. You have to understand that while deciding colleges people like to listen to all the...

Need Advice on these colleges I need the best choice out of these colleges. I know you guys don't do rankings but any information which can help me decide which college to go to will be appreciated. 1)Baruch is obviously number one choice But who is better Kent State or Illinois Institute...

Hi ANDY- You have provided some really good information over here. And by internships at Kent I meant projects which provide industry experience. I believe that this part is true. I have heard from a lot of people that the 24-28 students which get selected for Kent are all given projects. The...

What about other MFE programs. Hi everyone, I have always seen people discuss a handful of MFE programs like- Baruch, UCB, NYU , CMU etc, but no one talks about the other schools. I also applied to Baruch and was rejected. I realize that there are a lot more qualified people out there. But...
