Advice on getting a quant job in Singapore

August 1st, 2007, 6:23 am

Hi all, I've been reading this board for quite some time, and have gained quite a lot of knowledge. I'm a Singaporean with a bachelor in computing, and have a Masters in Financial Engineering from NUS. I've tried finding quant jobs in the typical local banks and IBs for quite a few months, but I've not even managed to get a single interview! Its been quite some time already.. Any advice? Thanks!

Thanks!What were you thinking when you enrolled into the MFE program? NUS is a good university, and if their career center cannot find a job for you, it means that there aren't that many in SPORE in the first place. That begs the question- why did NUS start the program in the first place?
