Then some lucky bastard may get the opportunity to take her to a football match. In any event, I too have met Gwyn...

<t>In regard to the comments about programs taking place in the evening providing equal access to practioners as well as full-time students. This situation is pretty muchthe same everywhere. In New York, at Columbia and NYU the programs all are in theevening no matter if you are full or part time. I...

<t>Mexx and Jobseeker,Thanks a lot for the advice. I must confess I am more than a little confused and frustrated. I think this whole notion of what employers want is so vague that it almost isn't worth discussing apart from the three main points which you both raised i.e. PhD, name brand uni. with ...

<t>In terms of getting a job in quant fin., is it fair to say that the number of applicants per job is no better or worse at the top Wall Street firms than that of say MBA's for analogous positions or isthe quant sector unique within the current economic climate for some reason?

I am deciding between Imperial for Finance MSc and CUBS for Mathematical Trading and Finance MSc.I don't exactly know myself which is better so, sadly, I can be of no help. However, I have gotten the impression that City might be better.I don't kn...

<t>I have no doubt that the MSc people are in many cases well qualified for numerous quant positions; however, it seems that the qualification sought by employers is that of a PhD. This is not always stated in the job description or the description seems to say PhD preferred. It is inthis sense of t...

<t>Thanks for the advice I am most appreciative. However, I am wondering how one is supposed to acquire the knowledge of options, derivatives etc ... if not via course. I grant you I am able to educate myself by reading and can understand the material in theory but what about the formal acknowledgem...

<t>I am in need of advice regarding which schools, if any, in the UK would be best for Math Fin. Also, are the prices justified regarding tuition.
