Hi all,
I'm a year 3 student from National University of Singapore (NUS), currently exchanging in UCSD. My primary major is quantitative finance. I also got double major in Statistics and minor in CS. I plan to pursue a master degree, but could not decide between master of Stats or financial engineering (or even industrial systems engineering). At this moment, I'm aiming at job in banking area (To be honest, I haven't got a VERY interested area yet, if watching drama does not count lol). I know that stats provides more opportunity while MFE is more specific, but could anyone give me some advice other than that, based on my information here? Plus: I am open to every kind of possibility because I'm really confused.
Some of my basics are as follows:
GPA: 3.78/4 (Converted from 4.73/5)
1 individual research project (Econometrics based. Not published.).
Charted Financial Analyst (CFA) level I passed.
Relavant courses:
Math: Mathematical analysis I, II Linear algebra I, II Numerical analysis ODE Numerical PDE Mathematical finance
Finance: Accounting Corporate finance Financial markets Investment instruments
Stats: Probability Regression analysis and linear model R/SAS/SPSS programming Planning: Stochastic process Time-series
CS: Data structure I, II Computer organization Language: Python, C++, Java, Matlab
