Hi,
I want to develop my quantitative skills and try to pivot from a current market risk role to a quant trading role or strat role at an BB instead.
So here come my questions:
1. Is an MFE worth it in your opinion? Some of my friends said I can probably apply to strat role now without a MFE given I have covered a good level of math and stats in undergrad. Although it’s been a year and a half so I would need to revise some of this.
2. Is the MFE too niche? Could I still move into a traditional investment banking role or even a tech role at a Google or Facebook for example?
3. How good are these programs for placements? In particular the Berkeley one, do they have a good record still? Especially for an international looking for a visa?
Thanks!
