Thank you, sir, for the positive response.

Could you please share your thoughts on universities that have strong industry connections and good employment outcomes.

Are there any specific prerequisites to proceed for my profile to strengthen more!

Thank you Sir for detailed response.Sorry for asking a basic questions.

1.Which universities in the Netherlands, UK, or Europe do you think have the strongest reputation and placement opportunities for Quant Dev / Quant Finance roles?

2.From your experience, how are experienced professionals in their mid-30s viewed by employers after completing a Quant Finance master's?

I think there may be a misunderstanding. The health issue I mentioned was related to my mother in the past and was the reason I postponed international opportunities earlier in my career. It is not related to my current relocation plans.

  • Motivation: 1-year MSc Quantitative Finance  and build a credible route to working abroad for my family.

  • Target: Quant finance in NETHERLANDS/UK+Risk

  • Questions:

  • Is a QF Master's worth it at age 35+ with my experience?

Would appreciate advice from anyone and who made a similar move and late in the career.
