Looks like the OPT/CPT is not affected by this so great news for many students on F1 visa.

Off the books you are interested in, just get the latest version.

Very excited to hear this great news, especially during this challenging time. Be sure to keep us updated on what you doing. I still remember all the new stuff I learned during my first job.

Here is a list of video and time for each level. You should have no problem doing it this quicker than someone without a CS background. Good luck and see you soon. https://quantnet.com/threads/faq-c-for-financial-engineering-online-course.7376/#post-90019

@Ken Abbott Do you know any data source for this? Thanks

Cool ideal We also need to think of how to call graduates of the advanced C++ course. I'm going to throw something out here. Shifu (in Mandarin) or Sifu (Cantonese) means a skilled person or master. Maybe we can call Cfu :)

Hi @willmlee You can start it anytime and have full control over how fast/slow you can use your 16 weeks to complete the course. Many have finished it in 6 week or less but most would use the full 16 weeks. Some have never completed. It's 100% up to each person time and level of commitment...

@aporto Let me know if you can now access level 1 and subsequently level 2.

I hope after this pandemic is over, people would get conditioned to take and accept online courses. In many cases, the quality of online courses are much better, more convenient for students and teachers. This is specially true for technical courses such as programming, math, etc.

The 2020 QuantNet MFE rankings will be released when it's ready and soon. We raise the bars for inclusion in the rankings every year and the 2020 promises to be the best so far. We can't wait to release it and hope you love it too.

Not at all. You just have to make sure you can plan your schedule to do both course at the same time. We have many C++ graduates who took the Options course to get a better intuition so they can do better during interviews for jobs/internship.

Directors of every MFE program will want to talk to you about it. Getting qualified domestic candidates interested and applied would be their top priority.

Google Stephen Miller for more information.

This case is of most interest to many of our QuantNet audience here since most of them will need to get OPT for internship and post graduation job opportunities. This case may eliminate the OPT program causing extreme hardship or virtually impossible to get a job after their MFE degree...

That's no longer true as of today :) The 2020 ranking will be released in December, exact date TBD.

I vote for Camtasia as well. There are many less expensive or free software to do what you want but many online training courses use Camtasia. QuantNet C++ courses by @Daniel Duffy and the Options course by @dstefan used Camtasia for the video lectures.

My advice applies if you have a job lined up or can get one by school starts. Princeton likes to admit applicants with some work exp so their advice makes sense for them.

The reviews were deleted by its original authors for whatever reason. It was disappointing to say the least. I know it takes a lot of effort to write a review, specially the unprompted reviews.

Learn to code well. It will be the key open the doors to many opportunities beyond these master programs since the trend is more technical hand on skills.

Check the Tracker as well. It has all the latest admission status from QuantNet members. https://quantnet.com/tracker/

They are using 6 months after graduation which helps everyone get close to 100%. On contrary, we use only 3 months after graduation in our ranking methodology.

And I got some good stuff to bring home.

I saw it twice. Guess where I am now.

Anyone here us a fan of the above show or its spinoff Better Call Saul?

There are industries that pay more than finance. Think AI, tech, etc but you gotta be top of the game. You can't just thinking getting an MFE degree and then money will follow. Many people realize it a year and 100K too late.

If you got your undergrad in the US, it is not as high a factor as someone whose bachelor degree is not from an English language system.

I can hardly see a scenario when we are ordered to hand over such info given the nature of the forum. Moreover, the personal data we keep is so minimal that it's impossible to reveal anyone's identity.

There is a historical table of admission stats gathered over the years at Admission Statistics from MFE Programs It may be updated in the future.

I like to point out a finer thing in our 2019 rankings methodology is that in the survey we specifically request data for full-time admission and placement stats. This helps ensure better comparison between programs which may also explain some subtle changes from last year rankings. We already...

That's something we will look into. It makes more sense for us to do specific regional rankings which is why we decided to do US-only programs this year instead of including Canadian programs as in the past.

Our course is pretty well-known and many CMU MSCF students have taken it over the years. The course is offered by the Baruch MFE program. There isn't any course number so you can skip it if optional. Since it's pass/fail course, it makes sense to provide the grade you received. Good luck with...

Soon.

There are now courses in that track offered by various programs. You may as well look into Data Science Master program since MFE is a short program so you won't learn much by taking a course or two.

@sarahwang @Joseph Shamsian The Tracker is available now in its early beta stage. Check it out and let me know if there is any bug or missing features.

Not really quant questions but surely you will get these. Hopefully you can make good use out of it.

You can actually highlight relevant skills and work experience from it. I think you should use them to your benefit. Quant finance is pretty multi-disciplinary and not a one-track field like most people believe.

If you are a fresh MFE graduate and this is your first job, it will be really how good a deal the director can get for you (in good programs usually). When you change jobs, you will have a better idea of how much peers in similar roles make across the market and can better deal with employers...

Most people that are in the US self-apply, specially if you already did your undergrad here. There could be a whole industry for people in China to apply for college and that may extend to the MFE programs as well but it's not a big part of it from what I can tell. Looks like if you are done...

Finance is not the only career option for ambitious young men and women these days. Tech and other industries have huge draw. Volcker has been major factor where regulation has been emphasized more but with the rule repeal, the days of exotic derivatives products may come back. We'll see.

It would help you a great deal if you spend sometimes reading about the industry and what each role entails so you can better answer during interview like what Ken asked. A lack of industry research is one of the biggest downfalls for new entrees to the field. You can get much of what you need...

Realistically, no but you can get yourself a better chance by working a few years, getting a few online courses in math, C++, probability, calculus. It's doable.

The lack of information has been the norm as long as MFE programs exist. Very few programs are transparent with their statistics which is why our QuantNet MFE rankings have been providing crucial missing data.

Targeting CA job market may be your competitive advantage since Wall Street is a real magnet. I would caution about thinking cost of living in the LA area is cheaper. May be true now but who knows in a year or two. But congrats on the offers @Matt A . It's better to have a choice.

Did you guys apply there and got an admit?

Yes, your job offer in in Asia. To break into top jobs in the US, you need to go to a program here. My advice still stands, you can benefit from working a few years. If you later decide to move up or to the US, your choice of school may be different. If you target a certain kind of job, the best...

You can always get into the same program later with more relevant experience. The reversal may not be true. I would advise to get relevant work experience first and as often as you can so you focus on learning the things important to the real world.

Are you able to go visit both programs, go sit in the classroom and talk to students, faculty? Usually you will come to a clear decision quickly. A trip would be a good investment instead of picking blindly and got stuck with a program that you regret many years later.

I'm sure many will jump on it. Biggest hurdle would be whether this is a H1B sponsor job or not.
