You may try to get into junior roles in energy/utilities directly, there is something. I don't quite get what they want.You might also want to reconsider and stay put at least for some time.http://news.efinancialcareers.co.uk/new ... emId-17501

Hope this helps: http://www.quantspot.com/jobs/junioryou could read the description and find the roles match your skills, on the job training/move would be better

Consider other jobs!

how about computer program? or electrical engineering?

hey, all.I am current an acturial student and facing to graduate in the coming year. I am considering to transition in quant because I feel more interested in the financial maths, the insurance spread sheet make me bored. Can anyone offer me some considerate measures? like doing a Phd degree and sth else.

I have done some maths courses as well, calculus, vector calculus, applied PDE, scientific programming, applied mathematics,probability and statistics.
