Need help to kickstart career in Finance

September 4th, 2015, 3:08 pm

Hi everyone,So I am a 24 y.o who completed his bachelors in engg. two years ago. I did a engg. job for a year, but didnt like the work, so I switched to a back office of an IB, the job here is developing UI for trader, automating pricing instruments, regulatory projects.the start was interesting but I am not liking my job here anymore, I seem to have regressed w.r.t ability to grasp new concepts and doing menial tasks everyday isn't helping my development.I mainly want to learn, money isn't that big issue for me right now (but atleast I want to feel that I am going in the right direction), so I was thinking of applying for masters in financial engineering from some reputed college. I would appreciate if you guys can give your opinions if that is a good option, if not I am open to more suggestions.Thanks

Birkbeck is a good option if you want to go for academics.CQF also is a brilliant idea.
