书出来准备拿多少？几年要求回报多少？你对现在用相同的钱炒房子的同期回报怎么看

发帖数: 613 | 10 出国时年纪就大，毕业时经济又不好，专业也一般，现在base想很大提升很难啊:-)。
所以想扭转一下。还是很佩服一个师弟，PhD第一年偷偷修MFE的课，自己failed quals
，下一年就上MFE，毕业马上上街。以前总想从事本专业的工作，现在真的被伤着了。

发帖数: 668 | 21 At your age, with your experience, doing entry level quant job, you can
easily beat your young fresh graduated peers. No need to earn another
degree to enter the quant world. Btw GW is not that well known for its
financial engineering program. I think you are smart enough to figure it out
how much it can help you with the career change.
Don't easily believe 200k starting package for entry level people. It's
possible, but rare. Most firm just want to use you as a tool and dump you
when the tide turns. It happens about every 10 yrs. being in the financial
world means your colleague and boss will be meaner than your regular job.
Everything is driven by money. Plus you have long hours. Very few people
has perfect boss. It's not just you.
Don't say you love modeling part of quant story. If you really did modeling
work before, and read the books, you know how much bullshxt they put in
there in the practice field.
Now you have stable well paid job in a nice area. Two lovely kids. A career
change needs full support from the other part of your family. It could be
painful. Are you mentally prepared for that?
Just my 2 cents. |
