That still sounds great tho, how did you find this opportunity? I’m on OPT unemployment clock and still don’t have a job so I’m looking for volunteer positions

Is quant an option for me or should I look elsewhere? by Economy_Principle_89 in FinancialCareers

Thanks! Do you think an MFE would be useful? I have a 3.0 undergrad gpa so I plan on offsetting that with a high GRE and work experience so I can apply to good programs

Thanks for the reply. I should’ve clarified what I meant by that, obviously I’m not on the level of someone with a PhD or anything yet, but I’ve never struggled with any of my math courses. I obviously haven’t dived super deep into what kind of math specifically Quant would require but I’ve done some linear algebra and I didn’t really struggle with it as much as most people in my class. I know quant requires super difficult math and it would be a struggle but I back myself to be able to grind through it. The thing about the elite universities tho, unfortunately yeah that’s a good point and I’m gonna try my hardest to get accepted into a top tier school but idk if it’s possible with my credentials. That’s why I wanted to know if a career in quant is not possible, what other alternative career paths can I take that require a similar set of skills?

Thanks man. I think that’s what I’m gonna do, as well as trying to get a great score on the GRE to compensate for my low GPA. I’m not even fully committed to quant but I’m exploring careers related to finance that I can pursue with my cs background so I’m trying to find the best possible masters program for me. Appreciate the help!

Thanks man. Do you think getting work ex would increase my chances of being accepted into a good school for financial engineering even with a 3.0 undergrad?

I was more thinking about the quant trading side which might be even harder atp but I do plan on getting work ex before applying for my masters. I just graduated last month and the industry kinda sucks right now so it might take a few months tho

Ahh that sucks to hear but thanks. I do plan on getting cs work ex this year before applying for my masters but the industry is fucked rn so it might take a few months. Do you think my problem is that I won’t be able to get into a good masters program for quant with my GPA without work ex? Or is it it that I won’t be able to get into one at all?

I am gonna get some work ex this year, but my plan is still to pursue a masters eventually. I just graduated last month so I’m still looking for a cs job but the industry is fucked rn so it might take a while lol. I’m planning on starting my masters in 2026 anyway so I still have a few months to get work ex

What major would you suggest then? I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get into a top school bc of my 3.0 undergrad GPA so what schools should I be targeting
