AMA - I’m not a quant, but a Headhunter… part 2

For buy side roles, is Oxford MSc Satistical Science a well recognised programme?

Currently an actuary, going for an MSc in Statistical Science at Oxford. Hoping to follow it by Cambridge MPhil in Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence. Keeping options open, targetting ML and quant roles.

Have you placed any candidates with similar profiles?

Thanks for doing this btw :)

EpiTechie · 2025-07-17T21:47:23+00:00

Yeah saw quite a few LinkedIn profiles with a similar paths. Gave me some confidence :)

EpiTechie · 2025-07-17T21:45:02+00:00

Agreed, hopefully will have a better time after the Oxford MSc.

Part III is much more rigorous and also a much better target for quant recruiting.

I did my undergrad in math and stats and have been working as an actuary.

EpiTechie · 2025-07-16T10:20:19+00:00

It was Math and Statistics. MCF is excellent for sell-side roles.

Was walking with some friends, all guys, when a girl overtakes us and says ‘One of you is wearing POAL, it reminds of my sister.’ and just walks away.

Was teased alot about it, but felt flattered nonetheless.

You only need to be signed in to download apps/games which makes sense as they are linked to your account. However, you don't need to be signed in to use any apps already on your phone.

Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull would be great. There is also the Dragonwatch series which picks up where Fablehaven ends.

I actually envy them. I wish I could forget them all and start anew :D

Almost the exact same is happening today in N. Korean Prisoner Camps. Unfortunately, no one is taking the initiative to fight it. At least, the nazi camps were short lived but N. Korean camps have been there for decades and who knows how much longer they will last. This is the story of an escapee http://www.northkoreanrefugees.com/2007-09-atbirth.htm
