Hi members,
I am grad student in Statistics at Stanford. For now, I am still confused about course selection for programming; so I need advice from those who are in the industry.
My career goal: quantitative jobs that relate to portfolio management and risks hedging.
My preference: I prefer doing mathematics and coding algorithm than digging deep to technical coding such as building system. (I would say I want to be an algorithmic programmer than a developer)
Courses that I will take: A lot of Machine Learning, a lot of optimization, a lot of finance; thus 1 intensive C++.
Courses that I am confused and need advice on:
Additional: Also, if you can think of any course that is useful but not in the list, please and please recommend me.
Thank you for your help.
