I just graduated this summer, and currently working for UBS as an offshore operational risk analyst. However, I still want to do a PHD or something else. Please feel free to give your evaluation and recommendations, because Im not quite sure what's best for me. (i.e. which PHD program).My background:1. Undergrade: Finance in the Univerity of Plymouth, UK ; graduated with first class honors degree.-dissertation is on FX marke efficiency, also got first class score.2. Master: Financial Mathematics in the University of Exeter, UK; graduated with distinction. (Distinction is the best master degree you can get in the UK, it is like first class for undergrad)-program structure can be found here,<a href="http://emps.exeter.ac.uk/mathematics-computer-science/postgraduate/programmes/finmathsmsc/structure/" target="_blank">http://emps.exeter.ac.uk/mathematics-computer-science/postgraduate/programmes/finmathsmsc/structure/</a>But I want to point out that I did not do dissertation, because I could choose to do several more modules instead of dissertation. Also, programming was done mostly on matlab and R. Very little C++ exposure, but I am currently studying it.3. GRE: I am currently studying it, assume I can do it pretty well and good in quant section and quant subject test.[ATTACH=full]2343[/ATTACH]OK, now. I really donno which PHD I should do or where can I get in, should I do a MFE?. Sometimes I think maybe I should do an engineering PHD or mathematics, so if economy is not getting better I could still have some hard skills. Please advise any relevant knowledge. But I want to point out that, I switch from finance to financial math, and did pretty well, which demonstrate my ability for tackling new areas.</blockquote>
