Message: <blockquote data-quote="SekharNY" data-source="post: 8842" data-attributes="member: 368">Having read various thread on" quantnet.com", it is really interesting to read  from Alumni and current students about the MFE as well as other related trends and news. Every questions seems to be answered within few hours or atleast within 24 hours , which is incredible. This shows how dedicated everybody are in here, despite their tight schedule. My Question is as follows: ***Computer science involves lots of math course ,programming, databases, networking to assembly language classes. I think a headhunter, in this forum and Mr. SteveTownSend even pointed the importance of C++ programming. But MFE only involves one C++ course, with heavy emphasis on Maths, and I bet nobody can rely just on the school course on C++, but rather practice and further enhance their skills on their own. My main quesiton is, can somebody with a finance background(BBA) as well as Computer Information System(MS) degree with (C++  background) get hired as MFE graduates?( I do acknowldege that MFE graduates could work in the IT dept,  as a Trader, quantitative Analyst and Risk Management ). (MFE seems to overemphasize on math courses, whereas Computer Science or Informaiton Systems is into Programming, networking and databases.) ****I would like to know the limitations or potentials of the two majors, MFE VS CIS.  Your inputs or thoughts are highly appreciated. Thank You, SekharNY</blockquote>
