COMPARE Georgia Institute of Technology QCF vs NYU Tandon MFE

[phk]

Hi, @Andy Nguyen , I'm facing some difficulties in updating the tracker ( it's showing nationality not selected, no matter how different I try )

Regarding the comparison between Georgia Tech QCF and NYU Tandon MFE, I am more inclined toward exploring the roles that blend AI and Finance rather than purely finance-focused positions. I would like to understand:

1. Are there sufficient job opportunities in this specific domain (AI + Finance)?
2. Based on my experience as a Quant Researcher at an HFT firm, I find the work to be highly time-intensive. While I am strongly inclined toward finance, I want to explore what other roles would be available after graduating from the QCF program. Specifically:
   • Would the time demands be as intense as in a Quant Researcher role at an HFT, or would certain roles offer a more balanced workload?
   • In general, what career paths are available post-QCF, considering I currently have only a broad understanding of the options?

Hi, @Andy Nguyen , you have already answered the queries I had partly, can you please give advice on the above questions I had, thanks

I want to work in quant finance in the US, and applied for masters in Financial Engineering for Fall 2025 intake. So far, I have got admits from NYU Tandon's Masters in Financial Engineering and Georgia Tech's MS in Quantitative and Computational Finance. Still waiting for Columbia, UChicago and UWashington. Which one should I take, in terms for overall education, career services and opportunities and expenses?

Hey TweetyD, congrats on your GaTech admits. When did you get the result back?
I don't see it in your Tracker.
