What would be an expected compensation for an mfe graduate after 10 years?

[pinkjigglypuff]

I'm not just interested in mfe just for it's ability to pay well, but I'd like to have a solid perspective on how much a quant would get compensated after, let's say, 10 years into a job after graduating from mfe? Serious answers please

I think it depends on where you are going to be or what you are going to do 10 years after graduation.

You might not be interested for its ability to pay well but it definitely sounds like it.

1 Zimbabwean dollar

Really!?? That much. I definitely have a perspective on what to expect compared to those billionaire quant traders! Just 10 more years and I get 1 Zimbabwean dollar. 1 Zimbabwean dollar = 1 trillion dollars right?

I kid. I kid

Are you interested in FX?

Not funny as the US dollar seems to be going the same way. For those who don't remember the great days of Weimar hyperinflation, a woman sat down to order a coffee at 5,000 marks; when it was time to pay the bill, it had gone up to 8,000 marks.

I might sound incredibly stupid, but what's FX?

Haha. Why delete your other post?

 

[pinkjigglypuff]

Ok, now I really got it. You mean FX quant analyst. Thanks everyone. Just don't answer stupid questions.

FX refers to Forex, currency exchange. It's one of the area in finance that people here work in. The reference is because of your post on dollar and Zimbabwe dollar which is another reference to the hyperinflation in Zimbabwe

In general, people would be tolerant to genuine questions but not those that can be quickly answered via a Google search or Wikipedia reading.

Your original question is in neither region. Like anything else, you can be millionaire or a bum after 10 years. It is an open question and does not have an answer.

Thanks a lot. I tried to google it, but I couldn't find it.

FX or "how much a quant would get compensated after 10 years into a job after graduating from mfe"

 

[pinkjigglypuff]

Both actually. I actually googled it a lot. I even used Bing. I know that the average compensation is around 100,000 or less after mfe. Is it not?

If you google "FX", you'll find results related to Forex, or "foreign exchange". The fourth listing is "Forex @ DailyFX - Currency Trading News, Forex Trading News, FX ..." -- big hint.

A crucial skill in finance is figuring out stuff by yourself, and knowing when you should be able to solve a problem by yourself.

Here is a website for all your acronym needs: http://www.acronymfinder.com/FX.html. Or google "FX acronym".

I actually googled FX and then I figured that probably won't tell me anything, since there are numerous abbreviations with FX so I googled FX quant, which seemed more appropriate. Yes, I do see it now, but I didn't just google 'FX' I googled 'FX quant'.
