Top-tier MFE program or quantitative trader job

I didn't mean any offense to anyone. But I hate it, no doubt about that. Trading/structuring jobs in FO are much more interesting and well, highly paid. Those people are the real bankers. MO is not banking, sorry.

Wth is wrong with perception of MOs roles! Risk Management is a profoundly interesting and fulfilling career path.

right

Thanks for clarifying David. It's dissapointing that you pay so much of fees, you are so bright minded and land a MO job???

Anyway, do you know if people make it to FO or buy side trading in the future (2-5 years)?

I joined MS Back-back office (an IT project manager for Risk) in 2013 during my MFE.

I'm in S&T now. "People" don't do anything. If you want to get something done, do your research, network creatively, and make it happen.

Took me 5 years to pull off , but I enjoyed every job I had along the way. I agree with the above statements btw, Risk is really interesting; in many ways more so than S&T.
