<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: FeynmanJrIn my PhD, I worked on (non-equilibrium) statistical mechanics. I totally agree that industrial programming is different from academia (specially for a non computer science major). During my PhD, I worked on C++ (I am pretty aware that C, C#, and C++ are not sa...

<t>why would a PhD be considered a "hole" in a CV?a PhD student is employed as a research assistant, and that's a job.Furthermore if one tailors a PhD project to enhance a set of skills required for jobs in the research industry, hard to believe recruiters would see the PhD as a gap in experience.I ...

is it just that you're only considering online degrees, or that you don't want to go back to school full time?one degree that is not too specialized is the Msc in operation research at northwestern. it's got a specialization in financial engineering, but you can also take different electives.

<t>@traderjoe1976 and @bearish thanks for your inputs.I would like to ask another question:I have read quite a bit about what a professor's work and life duties entail, and this is something I committed to achieving.After doing some research I figured that many of my research interests available in ...

<r>Hi,hypothesis: I am almost done completing a PhD in an area of Statistical Physics which studies how financial crashes happen.I have programming skills, and enough mathematical finance to become a quant. However I want to teach and do research in finance in a business school.I don't want to be a ...

no cellphone coverage in the wilderness,else, why would you leave your stuff on the railroad ._. ?

I'll make sure not to share what my long term goals are with HR then.I'm glad you said this because that's exactly the kind of experience I' looking for: become a good enough quant so that I 'm able to work independently, which will mean that I'm ready for a PhD.

<t>Guess I will do the Msc then. Hopefully my school offers me some sort of financial aid.2nd question: by the time I graduate I will have been involved in possibly 2-3 research projects.is it possible to get a research assistant job in the QF industry? or are those reserved for PhDs?I'd work as an ...

<t>Hi people,I'm a physics major at a US school, my grades are not strong so I'm thinking about delay graduation and taking graduate courses in mathematics or getting a Msc in mathematics.They are basically the same thing, but do you think employers will care that I have a Bsc instead of a Msc even ...
