Hi Andy, I'm an international student from VN, a sophomore MSU majoring in Advanced Math and CS (4.0 GPA). I want to break into either QR at mid tier shops or Risk Quant at HF/IB. Currently I'm doing research in ML and SDE. What should I do to boost my resume (research/projects/networking)for next year internship cycle? Should I do one more major or minor in Risk management/Quant risk? Ty so much for your advice.

A graduate degree is almost a requirement to break in the industry these days. Very rarely that undergraduates can break in given the competition where thousands of master students flood the job market. In that approach, you don't want to get too specialized in undergraduate, just focus on core skills (math/programming/stats) and get good grades and relevant projects. Then apply to top quant programs with proven placement stats and strong career services. Good luck.

Do internships/work experience/research experience matter in MFE/MQF/MSFC top programs admission. If not, what are important factors. Thank you so much for your response

They are all important factors. The more the better.
Hi Andy, as a second-year Quantitative Finance student in Vietnam about to dive into major courses, I’d love to get your insights. What technical skills and foundational knowledge are essential for a career in quantitative finance? Are there any specific tools, languages, or mathematical concepts I should master?
Also, Do you think I should use macOS for this field? Thank you very much for your advice! :love:

At the very least, master C++ and Python as they will be your meal tickets. Read as much about the finance industry as you can. Mac or PC is just a tool. Pick one that makes your job easier.
