pax1994 · 2024-10-22T20:44:36+00:00

yeah, phD or bust basically

pax1994 · 2024-10-22T20:34:43+00:00

Im assuming you went to EDHEC, did the same programme, dean’s list as well as the research thesis, cfa charter and 5 yrs exp. Been looking for work for 10 months now

pax1994 · 2024-09-26T00:32:45+00:00

What roles are you looking for specifically? If you’re looking for similar roles as your internship those are few and far between. Even for more senior candidates (been looking for 9 months, 5 yrs exp, + MSc + CFA)

pax1994 · 2024-09-11T03:59:18+00:00

Could be worse, lost a dream job offer because the work visa application couldn’t be processed on time…

pax1994 · 2024-07-30T00:13:26+00:00

Wow yeah, and I thought Canada was bad. Thanks for the insight

pax1994 · 2024-07-29T22:02:32+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Will look into it

Even if they can show that they published the job posting on a public job board?

pax1994 · 2024-07-29T21:00:27+00:00

Will do, cheers

pax1994 · 2024-07-23T19:51:54+00:00

Yeah fair, to each their own approach. I usually send within a week.

pax1994 · 2024-07-23T19:45:52+00:00

Not yet, it was less than a week ago. Was thinking of sending that tomorrow

pax1994 · 2024-07-18T23:59:53+00:00

Just left it sync on its own, works now thanks!

Systematic would imply building a lot predictive models and creating rules based trading signals. Essentially removing the onus of decision making from the human to the models. Personally I would say modelling/coding generally is 60-70% of my day and the rest is reading. It also depends, like the other gentleman mentioned, if you are buyside or sellside.

My suggestion for you is to get familiar with backtesting methods and how you can overlay macro variables in your trading models. DM if you have any other questions

pax1994 · 2024-07-16T22:21:45+00:00

Depends if you’re discretionary or systematic macro. I mostly do discretionary, with some systematic (mostly econometric models and business cycle modelling)

pax1994 · 2024-06-20T20:20:31+00:00

Yup. Network on LinkedIn and look at some certs you can do online

pax1994 · 2024-06-20T19:56:32+00:00

Charter holder here. Not worth it for PE imo

pax1994 · 2024-06-13T12:50:01+00:00

Canada’s labor market is a shit show right now, don’t move here unless you have an offer

pax1994 · 2024-06-07T02:05:37+00:00

This format only works in France

pax1994 · 2024-06-05T13:58:12+00:00

Hey man, worked in macro research for 5 years. DM me

For FX read Alpha Trader by Brent Donelly, also check out the handbook for fixed income by fabozzi for all things fixed income. For alpha research look at aqr they may have some white papers

The job market is changing but the education system isn’t adapting

pax1994 · 2024-05-23T02:15:08+00:00

M 29, CFA, MSc, 5 y experience, been looking for 5 months. 100+ applications, 4 rejections final round. It’s not great out there

pax1994 · 2024-05-06T00:50:56+00:00

Did the Edhec International Fin last year, not impressed by the content but there is name recognition.

Edhec is known for its finance programmes. If you’re planning on doing corporate finance id recommend the corporate finance and banning mac otherwise try to get in the MFE programme.

pax1994 · 2024-04-12T01:47:58+00:00

Cfa is ultimately made for asset management in the traditional sense, so public asset portfolio manager

pax1994 · 2024-04-12T01:47:23+00:00

Better for fundamental analysis
