Options Primer Online Certificate Students' intro thread

[radosr]

Hello everyone,

You may call me Marvin. I have a background in math and stat, and is pursuing a career in quantitative finance. Now I am in my gap year after graduating from University and might choose to pursue a Master's degree in Financial Engineering. The most attractive aspect of this course is its emphasize on quant job interviews. Also, I really think 'intuition' (as mentioned in the course name) is the key to master a concept and use it freely.

Hope we could share a great learning experience

Hi, Marvin,

welcome! Enjoy our course!

Hi,

My name is Omar Twahir. I am recent graduate of math and economics from Florida International University and will be applying to quant masters programs in fall 2020 and this course would help a lot. I also wanted to take this class to get a great understanding on options from experts on the field, just like I did with the C++ courses here on quantnet.

Hello Dan, Rados and my fellow students.
I'm Yingying. It is nice to study this course with you all. I have a background in Finmath. I plan to apply for the MFE this year. I am interested in Financial Engineering and hope to get the useful and practical knowledge about this area.

Hello everyone,

My name is Richard Cosma and I am a Mathematics/Economics major at the University of California, San Diego. I am very excited to take this course and increase my knowledge of options and look forward to making it the best experience possible! I plan on taking the rest of the courses offered by QuantNet so I am very excited to see how this learning experience will be! I am currently working very hard to finish my degree and I have also taken an internship in the wealth management business. However, I plan on continuing my education and hopefully pursuing a Masters in Financial Engineering, Financial Mathematics, or Quantitative Finance. My hopes are to become a Quant Trader so I am always looking to increase my technical knowledge both in finance and programming. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime! I would love to get to know my classmates more personally! Hope everyone has a great day!

Best Regards,

Richard Cosma

Hi all, my undergrad was in electrical engineering and I really enjoyed the math, but those skills are perishable. I've studied finance topics in an MBA as well. I now work at a small asset manager, alongside our traders, and want to join the front office team.
