I am a Ph.D of computer engineering. I have experiences of C++ programming, parallel programming, algorithm design,linear or integer optimization model design/implementation/solve. Basic level SAS programming.I have passed CFA level 1 exam. But, I am not good at stochastic calculus and option pricing. What kinds of jobs are suitable for me in financial services industries ?What kinds of jobs are suitable for me in front office ? If I learn more about stochastic calculus and option pricing, this can help me find a job in front office ? Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks

I don't mean to be rude, but if your written communication skills are in any way representative of your verbal communication skills, I'd think that you'd need to refine both before you'd be given the opportunity to interact with clients; at least native English-speaking clients. There is a reason, after all, as to why quants are generally relegated to secondary positions.
