I see a lot of people here with public service experience looking to add on econ and quant on to their resumes. However, I haven't quite come across anyone who has the opposite case and is actually looking for a change in the career. By the time I will apply the coming Jan, I would have spent about 4.5 years in Banking with the last couple of years in trading derivatives [with one of the better IBs on the street] [No we have not taken any money from any government!] , before which I did my Masters in Finance and undergrad in Commerce and Economics. Due to the nature of my work, I get to follow a lot of economies [though on a macro level] and design/ trade ideas - however, I think its time I gave it up and [with all due respect to 'markets' ] took these ideas into doing something for real rather than just transfer of cash from one party to another. Besides, it also technically is a good time given there is no love left in IB and pursue long felt need to higher education.
What are your thoughts on my background for MPP ? [i asked the 8 ball and it keeps saying 'ask again later'! :mrgreen: ]
Is there [m]anybody else in a similar boat as mine ??!
