You must have a beautiful voice as well....I know it's cruel....

I always thought Investment Bankers are scums of the earth. Guess what? I was wrong! Auditors and CFO are worse.

Get a job!!! You have no idea what you want at the moment....

Not much happening on fianancial engineering in Singapore for three reasons: 1)No liquidity in the markets to participate in. 2)Investment banks in Asia is still in retrenching mode. 3)Two local universities, NUS and NTU produce about 80 grads a year, no market for them.

Ok..I have concluded that finance is like making wine.....90% arts and 10% science unless you are form UC Davis.....

<t>As far as my experience goes, finance is 2/3 arts and 1/3 science. However, the industry is so competitive with so many brilliant minds constantly looking to out-smart each other, any improvement on those 1/3 odds count eromously toward your bottom line (maybe I am just trying to justify why I am...

Jobseeker,where are you now? If you are in Asia, I do have a few contacts here. Drop me a mail.

I had dinners with at least 4 MW before. Yes, they are knowledgeable about wines but if you sneak in a good "cheap" bottle among good wines, they can't tell the difference a lot of times. It's so called expectation/perception overwheming reality.....

I will be in the program next month. I guess if it does not work out, I can always flip burgers for a change. Even better, maybe I'll become a sommelier since I can taste the differences (most of the time) among carbernet sauvignon, merlot, carbernet franc, shiraz, and pinot noir.

Piggy,

Not sure, I think it's 30 in Pitt....

The way I am struggling with C++ now, I think I'll need all the luck I can get....

<t>I am going to attend the MSCF at CMU even though I have a Engineering undergrad but I have not touched any hard core maths for YEARS and my programming SUCKS. So I am probably in the same boat as you, I'll find out if I can make it through over the next 12 months. I am sure it'll be a real strugg...

Deputy,

I am heading to Pittsburgh.

Did not look into CMU_NYC closely enough to make a call either way. I just look at Pittsburgh because I am studying full time.

<t>The best one out of the lot seems to be Cornell. I did look into these four programs when I was looking for a school, at the end I figure I'll only consider CMU and Bekerley with Cornell as a potential back up (anyway I am always fond of Cornell because I have worked with so many impressive MBA g...

<t>I am a CFA charter and I can tell you that I am very happy that I've done it. The course work is more suitable for someone who is interested in portfolio management. The course work is broad and general (a good PM should have broad knowlege anyway), probably not as intensive and specialized as a ...
