I think I would like to get into Quantitative Investment Research or some sort of program trading. I'm really not sure of what a what routes an MFE would take. What do risk analyst, and program traders do, in general and on a day to day basis, and how does the MFE train them specifically to suceed in this field. Where do the Baruch MFEs work and what are their titles? Do companies recruit in campus and how difficult was it to find jobs and how do those positions taken stack up with students from "top tier" programs.
I attended the info session and all they talked about specific ways each person could demonstrate they have finance or math or programming accumen; if this test or that class would suffice.
It was as if they just wanted to do some degree and were more concerned with getting in than getting a degree with a proper fit.I want to know WHY I would take the MFE over a math degree and finance classes or an MBA.
Personally, I have a CFA and an MBA from top 20 school. I'm considering just getting a BA in Math Degree from a school where I've been lecturing. Should I just go a pure math route. Is this program the best path or is it redundant.
It was mentioned that we could sit in on some lectures and maybe sit down one on one with director or advisor. They said to posty a message on this board and someone would read it.
Any feedback on any or all of my questions would be appriciated.
