Thanks farmer

<t>Interesting, on top of the salary vs risk relationship, I'd also like stress the popularity vs competition in banking. Many graduates only know about ibank and consider as the first priority because of city tale they've heard in the past and advertisement by media of the bonus of bank on top. I'm...

<t>Thanks all for the reply, especially bearish and Dominic. I'm by no mean to speak quanty (or cocky) by stating the numbers, but it just seems to be that the US MS ususally are linked to the phd programme while the UK ones can usually be viewed as an independent course, unless it's MRes. Please po...

<t>Dear all,I've been research the difference between US and UK's master. It appears to me that the master in the US is more rigorous, usually an admission of master will also include an expectation of the phd, duration of about 2 years, while the UK usually is only one year.With an educational back...

<t>Thanks for the reply traderjoe,Please don't take me overly superficial, but realistically monetary factor does act a role in the motivation of pursuing better education, namely phd in this case; and it's a certain metric to measure one's success as well.I believe the ability of your friend to rea...

<t>Thanks everyone's answer. Sorry for late reply, I've been busying.I just read my post again, although it's just not too long ago, it seems so naive even to myself and traderjoe is very right, "what phd"?I must say it's very unlike for me, at least for now, to take teaching as an "out". But what p...

<t>Dear all, Thank you for all the advice given in the past few weeks, I've finally decided to study another master in mathematical finance and aim to continue a phd in the field by achieving a distinction in MFE. However, I still have one more question which is regarding the financial aspect of it:...

<t>CrashedMint, You've very rightly pointed my problem out. Academic wise I actually have a considerable performance, obtained a high distinction from Imperial, including 80+ to highest 98% of modules such as advanced mathematics/statistical physics/Quantum Mech/Special, General Relativity/Computati...

<t>katastrofa, thanks for the advice! That's pretty inspirational. I'm in fact working in a technology firm now, and all my past working experience was in IT as well involuntarily (not meant to be in a bad way), and the more I have on the CV the more I provoke the HR's suspicion about my motivation ...

<t>Hi all,I'm a graduate of Imperial BSc Theoretical Physics and LSE MSc Finance a year ago, I found myself too academic-oriented and not well-prepared enough to get any relevant working experience during study.With a goal to get into quan fin/structuring, in addition to applying to the coming gradu...
