<t>Hi All,Would anyone know about opportunities on the buy-side for juniors in Asia (esp. Korea)? I'm currently working as a junior trader / analyst in one of the top BB investment banks in London and would like to move to Asia and work on the buy-side. Are there recruitment agencies to recommend?Th...

Hi All,Does anyone know how to get a certified track record to start a hf? It's a bit of a "egg or chicken" situation. If you don't have a TR then you can't get investors and if you don't have investors it's hard to get a TR.Any ideas greatly appreciated.Thanks a lot.Groti

<t>thx a lot for the reply linuxuser and DCFChaha - I really like the Beanie reading room stuff........@ DCFC: I agree that it sounds a bit like a strange i-net uni - that was one of my main concerns. Also, I'm from Germany and I'm not sure whether anyone would recognise it over there (in case I go ...

I also think the MSc Mathematical Trading and Finance Course at Cass is worth having a look at. The lecturers / profs teaching that course are absolute top. Also, I think the employment prospects are fairly good due to its practical approach.

<t>Hi all, I was just wondering whether in your opinion it is possible to start working as a junior in a quant team with a finance background. I will start in the (rotational) analyst programme of one of the big IB this summer and am trying to find out what my chances are to get into a quant team. I...

@ mit - did it at Cass Business School, London. Any opinion on the Mathematics / Computing degrees offered by Open University?
