Hi all,
I'm currently employed at a systematic trading hedge fund, after previously working at a investment bank in NYC. I've had a reasonably successful career, but one area which I felt that has kind of held me back is that I never went to grad school. I'm mostly working on the trading infrastructure (low latency programming), but would like to get more involved with the strategies.
I'm almost 30 now, and I feel if I don't do it now, then I'll never do it. I'm thinking of going to the USC MFE program, which I can do part time. I'm not sure if my company will provide tuition reimbursement, I don't think it's something that they typically cover. But I do make a good salary, and can easily afford to pay myself.
Do you think it would be worth the time, effort, and money to pursue this?
Thx!
