I was just curious as to what the job prospects are for MFE grads graduating in 2012/2013 year?
 
Risk field is growing sector .don't expect a change in Trading jobs because the collapse is still having an impact on stocks evolution.
 
Risk jobs are peaking right now. I think there will be jobs in risk reporting/research/technology as those seems to be areas of high turnover. There seems to be a demand in the area of algo trading so basically quant developers. There will be a demand for quant developers I believe. I think trading jobs will reduce. Traditional trading roles in banking are reducing everyday. With more automation and regulation there will be less need for traders and more for developers.*

* My opinion.
