any consulting firms hire quants?

<t>Yeah, that's usually how it works. The top dog moves and the rest follow. McK was the first to officially pursue APDs. they've been doing it for over 5 years by my count. Bain and BCG have followed suit, and recently making it an official track.My opinion is the others will follow, if they haven'...

any consulting firms hire quants?

<t>I am sorry, but you are grossly mistaken. Bain does hire "Advanced Degree" candidates. How do I know? I interviewed with them last year, and I don't have an MBA.In fact the all top 3 consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) have formal programs in place to recruit and train non-MBA advanced degree ...

Game Theory: Matching Pennies - repeated games

<t>Hi everyone,I've been stuck with a problem on mathing pennies. The payoffs for the game are as follows: H T H 1,-1 -1,1 T -1,1 1,-1If you graph the payoffs, you get a line joining (-1,1) and (1,-1).In repeated games, this line represents the set(its just a line unlike other games) of feasible pay...
