If you want to get into finance, join one of the Indian consulting firms. Almost all banks/hedge funds work with them.Does anybody know how CQFs career services works? Is that possible to break into quant or financial world with engineering degree or any other technical and with CQF?

they do all kinds of work. http://www.infosys.com/newsroom/features/pages/nvidia-center.aspxI thought, they r all IT company
You should not change your thinking just 'coz some one said something... You should still think they are IT companies :p
Btw to find a common ground they are actually software consulting firms.
But I don't think one can transition from them to hedge funds for fin role..

Well in that case I will not be of any help... If you have any other query (Apart from placements in chicago) about CQF , I would be glad to answer...
I was already working as a trader while pursuing CQF so i did not take much help from career services. I really like the classes, content and extra videos of CQF . So on that regard its really worth the money and an excellent course. In India there aren't any good quant schools , so even a cqf could land someone a job in finance . Infact I had received couple of mails for interviewing with some quant firms in Delhi just 'coz of CQF , but I was not looking for a change so I declined to interview. They also send monthly emails notifying you of the job openings where you can apply.
But things may be entirely different when we consider US , there are grads from full-time well known universities , so it makes me think that why would a firm hire someone from some online course which they might not be aware of....and since you don't have relevant work-ex , it might make the search even more painful.. So I would not bank much on CQF for breaking into quant roles in USA...
