What are my career options into finance?
Posted: May 31st, 2005, 1:41 am
Hi, I am looking to get into the finance industry but not sure which areas of the industry would best suit my background. I have a BA in Comp. Science, worked as an IT consultant for 5 years, and I am currently pursuing an MA in Statistics with a finance concentration (stochastics, numerical methods, time series, etc.). I have looked into areas such as Risk Management and quantitative development which seem interesting. But I just don't want to get stuck into a pure IT type of role. I want to go more on the business side of finance where I can also use some quantitative skills. Would pursuing the CFA be helpful for some with my background? Thanks in advance for the advice.
