Hi all,
I plan to pursue an MFE either in Fall 2017 or Spring 2018. Really appreciate if you guys can give me some guidance on the program and job prospects after MFE in the states.
Education:
Bachelor of Business Administration (Quantitative Finance) - Singapore Management University
GPA:3.18
QF modules GPA: 3.44
QF modules:
Master of Statistics (part-time) - National University of Singapore
GPA: 4.0/5.0
All modules:
GRE: 163 V 164 Q 3.5 AWA
Financial Risk Manager (FRM) holder
Work Experience (All in Singapore):
2011 (6 months): Intern at a US bank at their Middle Office Tech team. Built FIX order routing software and 3D real-time graph of index composition.
Technology used: C++,Linux, OpenGL, FIX Protocol.
2012 (1 year): Intern but more like working full time for a guy starting his stat-arbitrage hedge fund. Build a full trading system using time series analysis of intraday data to do pair trading.
Technology used: MATLAB, C (CUDA), MySQL.
2012-2015 (3 years): Work for a family office fund (AUM about 500 m), building their order management and data analysis to trade HK stocks and FX using simple algo such as TWAP,VWAP over DMA.
Technology used: C++, FIX Protocol, MySQL
2015-current(1 year): Work for a multi-asset trading firm (AUM about 2B). Building their multi-asset trading system to trade global futures/FX and risk management system using VaR. Team lead of a small dev team including myself.
Technology used: C++, MATLAB, FIX Protocol, PostgresSQL, Cassandra, Apache Mesos, Linux
Planning till able to apply
I will take the Energy Risk Professional (ERP) exam from GARP and RHCE (work related). I will also try to retake the GRE to bump the AWA and Q up, while still keep the V part (the old score will expire soon anyway).
Future goal:
I am not really a math guy but very good with applied statistics/econometrics and computing, so I would like to find a job in a fund that requires those skills. I believe I can automate/speed-up most quant strategies directly to exchanges and banks, so would like to leverage those advantages in future roles.
Thank you for your attention; It's a long post. Please let me know if you need any additional info.
