<t>I have a similar question on rainbow options. Ideally I would like to price a basket option on three assets with the final payoff being x1*ret1+x2*ret2+x3*ret3, where x1 is the ex-post best performing asset and x3 the worst. To the best of my knowledge there isn't any closed formula to price thes...

<t>Thanks again for you advices. They are really appreciated as they shed some light into an area I only know indirectly yet.Obivously the lower the risk the better. Ideally I would like to be a trader, but not only. There are other roles out there extremely interesting and rewarding such as sales o...

<t>Thanks all for the replies.Keeping in mind I would like to end up in a trading position, I think Math is important but not as much as it is for quant positions. For this reason I shortlisted only LBS and Cass. One for the brand name, the other more for the content of the course.Chromo, you are co...

<t>Thanks BetFut for letting me know about this masters. I only looked around here in London as I did not know it is possible to attend a MSc in Ox being here in London. However I believe London is still more convenient for me as I'd prefer a masters where I attend classes on a regular basis. Beside...

<t>Hi,I am a soft eng working in the FO of an IB but I would like to make a career switch and move into the business. To accomplish this I have been suggested the best way is to go for a specialistic master and here is the problem. Which one? I know there are many but finally I selected two of them:...

<t>Yes, that's right. You should find a job before leaving your current position and before moving to London. Anyway Accenture is a very well known employer and it should not be too difficult to find an IT job in an investment bank. A quant dev rlel would be ideal, but the important thing would be t...

<t>Probably the best thing would be to look for a job in the city, trying to highlight your math knowledge rather than your dev skills. It's hard to find immediately your dream job but you could move to London and then look around from there, which is much easier. A master in fin math from a well kn...

<t>DCFC,Thanks for your indications and given your experience I would like to know your opinion on a fourth scenario: Case 4Person with a good academic record but with an IT background (BSc and MSc in CompSc), some Math (Masters in Statistics) and 6/yrs exp in IT in IBs (29 yrs old), who want to mov...

Thanks ephraimscu, I agree with your point of view.

<t>Hi,Can you please axplain your ranking? I have applied to IC, KC, BBK and City. I am waiting for the results, so I am interested in which has got a better reputation.My impression is that City is very well organized both in terms of structure and in contents. It seems very practical, teaching you...

<t>Thanks for the advices. I agree it is more important what I learn from the master rather than the name of the institution, no doubt about it, but the institution matters anyway, for the name and for the networking.I am sure about the brand name of LSE and IC, but what about Cass? Is it well consi...

<t>I know it depends on what you want to do afterwards but I am 29 yrs and currently working in IT for a major IB in London. I would like to make a career switch and become a trader, a structurer or work in a portfolio optimization team. I would go for a master in finance but I feel like one in fin ...
