Hi,
I have a masters degree in computer science with extensive experience in IT as java developer. Currently I am aiming to get a quant developer position. With very basic knowledge of financial concepts I started looking for MFE programs which will help me to achieve my goals but those were too expensive and way out of my budget. Could anyone advice me a less expensive, good program which fits my budget of 12K or is it possible to get a job if I study on my own. Also I came across Pre-MFE program by Baruch which looks good....will that help me to get a job?

Maybe CQF is the only option for you at that price point. It's a certificate, not a master degree.
pre-MFE courses are designed to prepare you for MFE program, not to get a job.
 
had CQF as option...just wanted recommendations from the pros. Thanks for the replies

We have some discussion on CQF so you can find more about it. Perhaps you can forget about all these MFE programs and start learning things on your own and make a name for yourself in the quant finance community. If you are good enough, there bounds to be some employers around here who will notice and hire you.
