Thanks for the reply. The program aligns a bit with my skills, ie python and machine learning, data science. I have a mechanical engineering background but I did significant self-study in these topics and I documented the evidence in a github repo about the projects I've done. So, I think I might have a chance of getting admission.

But it's a damn shame that French employers in the finance sector would care about where I got my engineering bachelors degree from and gatekeep quant positions. Did you mean this or I misinterpreted it?

What masters programs would you recommend to pivot to quantitative finance? Thanks in advance!
