Hi Guys,

I was recently recommended (on Quantnet) to check out a Masters of Operations Research. I am looking to study financial engineering, but I already have experience on Wall Street, so people have said I should study the engineering aspect of FE, as opposed to an MFE.

How competitive are MoOR graduate programs compared to MFE programs? I am an econ/financial math UMichigan undergrad with prestigious recommendations and a bulge bracket sales & trading internship under my belt.

Can't wait to hear back,
Nicholas
 
Currently, yes. Foreign exchange S&T, FX derivatives, and fixed income derivates all in one summer. I also trade a personal options account and write (formerly more frequently) for my macro-trading blog. Last semester I worked with a computer science professor on a high-frequency latency arbitrage and automated trading independent study. So, I some experience, but I feel like I need a year or two of intensive stochastic and statistical model building so I can eventually start designing my own quant strategies. I am less doing this to get a job at a quant shop, and more doing it so within a couple years I can start coding proprietary software.
