Hi Andy,
I need some advice from you. i am a student from India and i am a permanent resident of the US. I am in my senior year of Bachelors in Electrical Engineering here in India. I applied to a couple of quant courses at top colleges. I do not have any work experience though i did an internship for 2 months in an IT firm which provides finance related software to major Banks. Though i have a good GRE score it seems unlikely that i will get an admit this time. I havent taken any Finance related subjects ever as my course does not let me choose the subjects I take. Now if i want to get an admit next year or the next how and where do I start working towards it. I mean how do i develop a career in Finance now. I am thinking of taking up the CFA exams but i realise I need finance work experience for around 4 years to attain the level 3. So how can i land a job even remotely related to Finance with an Engineering Background ? I am a good programmer though and I also have great grades in Math through out college. Thank you. Any advice you can give will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
