Hi guys ,
I am Indian Male with bachelors degree in Engineering. Decided to pursue a career in trading after the degree. Currently working as Derivatives trader – Commodities markets for a London based Prop Trading house for more than 2 years now and fairly successful at it too.
The problem I am facing is that the exit options are almost none ( other than trading for hedge funds / ibanks ). I am a good trader but I dont see my self trading after say 4-5 years.
So looking for Mfe/Mfin program to make a career shift into quantitative finance .
Ques-
Any other views are also welcome
Thanks
