When I started in the investment industry, a Bachelor was consider a + and for sure a MBA or CFA was greatly welcome also ! Now you need a financial engineering degree (which Im doing right now part time !) AND an advanced degree in programming ! By the time you finish both degrees you be 50 ! I'am not saying that programming skills are not worth it, I'm doing some soft programming like VBA and Matlab to help me test and better assimilate the concepts I learned but Python, Java, C++ , R,etc(...)Come on ! Where does it end ? The implication alone to be a good programmer is years of studies ... It's like asking a brain surgeon to be also proficient in heart surgery.. Its good for the Hospital or the financial industry because you dont need to pay 2 individuals !</p></blockquote><p></p>
