Message: <blockquote data-quote="Qui-Gon" data-source="post: 282936" data-attributes="member: 43439">I was wondering if any current students or recent graduates could provide more detail on the program given the last review here was back in 2014. I’m especially curious about common post-graduation career paths. According to Risk.net, the average post-grad 6 month employment rate for the last 4 years is 95%, however, I am finding it difficult to find graduates on LinkedIn that are currently working in quant finance, most results are current students. This is concerning when compared with searches for students/alumni from CMU MSCF, Berkeley MFE, Columbia MFE, or Baruch MFE. Why is this the case? I know Courant’s historical cohort size is considerably smaller than the first 3 programs', but nonetheless, there are simply far fewer NYU MathFin grads on LinkedIn it seems.With the likes of Dupire, Mercurio, Andersen, etc. I feel Courant boasts arguably one of the best set of faculty among the U.S. quant finance programs, not to mention an awesome suite of elective course offerings. My concern is that the program’s internship and job placement efforts and results are nebulous to outsiders which does not instill much confidence.</blockquote>
