1) A MFE/MQF may help you get in front of recruiters. It will also help with your knowledge. Examples of questions you will be able to answer (or at least know how to research to find the answer) after an MFE: How do you interpret the treasury curve? How do you price options and derivatives? What are the commonly used interest rate models? What does 'trading vol' mean? What is a 'spread trade'? How do you interpret economic reports? How do you deal with noisy financial time series? How do you perform Monte-Carlo simulation on a stock price to estimate the theoretical option value?


2) No, but some firms do prefer young grads so they can 'mold' them.
