I want to be a Quant Programmer and work for Investment Bank/Hedge Fund. Should i do MS in Computer Science or MS in Financial Engineering ?

MFE does not make you a good programmer. MS CS would be more flexible in term of career prospect.

Hi Andy, I have been reading your comments in forums for months and I am very impressed about your knowledge in this field. I am a PhD in Applied Mathematics and an early stage Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics with strong programming knowledge in Matlab and C++. My goal is to become a Quant. I was wondering what would be your suggestion for the simplest way to achieve this goal.
Thanks, Zeev

You probably should apply for jobs directly or via a recruiter.

Thank you Andy, I have been trying and got only one interview. I guess the market is very difficult these days. Thanks again

On top of all things, they said only full semester long courses will work which means Baruch PreMFE courses will not be eligible.

The c++ is a 16-week course, a whole semester.

Yes thats true but the first condition applies ... No online or internet courses accepted. Period. Its very unfortunate, screws up my whole plan....

Sorry, but I have no connectivity to internships. Your best route would be to contact your career assistance office.

Hi Andy. I talked to you before about the C++ programming course offered on this website. I am now ready to commit myself to this course. And I have pre-registered. Do you think I can get enrolled anytime soon? Or I have to finish level 1 and level 2 first?
Andy Nguyen

Phoebe, you can enroll anytime as soon as you pay tuition. You don't have to finish level 1,2 first but you should be ready to start work on the HW as soon as you enroll.

Hi Andy, I am a undergraduate stuent who is going to declare a major. I am interested in finance, physics, and math. My dream job is working as a quant. I am not sure if going to business school of USC or UCBerkerley and double major in math is a good choice. I can also take six computer classes to get a computer science minor. Or do you think getting a C++ certificate during or after education is enough. Thank you!

Thanks Andy, the link is really helpful. Since math and computer programming are both important, which one do you think should be chosen as the second major? (I only can choose one)

You can post here. Next time I log in I will try to reply (I am going to South America for a four week vacation so I can't guarantee when I will reply).

Hi Sir, I saw that you had posted a message about an Excel/C# newsreader. I had a similar idea. Is there any way that could get that Excel code from you so that I dont have to write my own code? Thanks,

you can email me at matthewcoxinvest (at) gmail.com.
Thanks

Hey hey, my friend. I've been having some trouble getting in touch with you, so I'm giving this back-channel a shot. I just moved to Montréal, so it looks like I'll be living a lot closer to you. I can be reached through any of the contact information listed on my old UNC homepage. It would be great to talk to you. Been a long time, man! -- Dave Knott

Hi Andy, I'm sorry to bother you. I've decided to take up a course in the C++ certificate for Baruch, however, i can only be free after december this year, 2012. I wonder if it is possible if you could schedule one class to begin after the 1st Dec 2012? Or if there might be another enrollment for the C++ after this Oct Enrollment, which i could participate in..
sorry..

Hi Anh Andy, my name is Hoang. I'm glad to see a Vietnamese quant in here. I am still an undergraduate student, but I'm very interested in the field of financial engineering. I was wondering if I could have a chat with you occasionally to learn more about this field. thank you in advance.

I have a suggestion for 2013 Rankings: for them to come out at the first quarter. I don´t know if the logistics would make this impossible. I'm just suggesting because at that quarter most people decide which program to enroll, so fresh information would be very helpfull
diegosanaz
Hello Andy, thanks for the guide! The articles are very interesting and helpful for people like me who wish to enroll to a program starting in September 2013.
