Hi, I currently study mathematics and computer science (bachelors) at Imperial College London, and due to start my job as a technology graduate in UBS next year.
However, it is my ultimate dream to become a quant, (the money, and pure tech is honestly too boring). So what I'm planning to do is to work for a couple of years, save some money then do a masters in financial enginnering(the fee is too high, can't afford to go straight into a masters).
Do you guys have any advice, on what sort of work/exposure I should try to get myself as a technology graduate at UBS to better prepare myself for the transition? Since it is quite flexible in terms of the teams/rotations that I will be on.
