Message: <blockquote data-quote="PhDWill" data-source="post: 172882" data-attributes="member: 32086">Hi. I'm doing a PhD in Finance. My recommendation is to do a good MSc in highly quantitative field - PhD is only good for academia. I was offered interviews in Hedge Fund's in London after my MSc Accounting, Finance and Strategic Investment, although I need to tell u that the employer knew I was offered a PhD (which was my main goal anyway). Ps. I didn't go to HF interviews (in the end decided that living in central London isn't for me).Ultimately, the PhD will take vital years, which you could rather use to learn about markets, trading exotic derivatives, utilise various investment strategies etc. If you want to know more about PhD in Finance let me know.</blockquote>
