Re: How to transition into quantitative portfolio management

Hi All I am in a similar situation as Mekornilol. I have recently made few attempts in applying to buy-side roles, but despite having worked few years in the buy-side at the start of my career, after ten years in the sell-side, it seems that I cannot pass the HR filtering.

Oxford MScMCF Interview

<t>Hi Windseav,The questions will essentially depend on your background. Don't expect any questions suggested by Willsmith (except what is a Brownian motion if you have attended some stochastic calculus class).It is difficult to predict the questions without knowing your background but be prepared t...

Oxford Math Finance Interview

<t>Hi pp8410,First, you will have to present yourself and what you have done so far. The 'technical' questions will depend essentially on your mathematical background. E.g. if you did some probabilities and stochastic calculus you can expect some questions like: what is a (local) martingale? What is...

Mark is right, it is maybe a good idea to work in a software company (e.g. Murex, Sophis, Algorithmics, ...) and then to learn a great deal in programming (although it is certainly...
