Hey ya'll,

I've just wrapped up my UG in Economics and am looking to do a Masters in QF. Currently thinking about the following programs:

MSc Mathematical Finance (online)

Equip yourself for a career in the finance industry
www.york.ac.uk www.york.ac.uk

MSc Finance (Quantitative Finance) (Distance Learning)

MSc Finance (Quantitative Finance) distance learning programme at SOAS University of London
www.soas.ac.uk www.soas.ac.uk

For context, I've already landed a job at a tier-1 prop firm / mm / quant hf (deferred start) and am currently backpacking around Europe (I know...). I plan on continuing to travel (despite COVID) and that's why I'm looking at online programs.

The reason why I'm doing this is because I feel that I am woefully underqualified compared to my peers (who did UGs in Physics, Math, CS, etc). While I did do advanced econometrics in my UG studies, I would feel more comfortable having a stronger background there.

I also looked at Columbia's MSOR Online Program, but I really do not wish to pay 70K for a piece of paper especially as I've already landed a job.

Any thoughts?
