I know a CA qualification + a few years in auditing can enable you to jump into IB/research etc but I'm looking at more markets/funds management orientated roles like trading or portfolio analysis. I was looking at doing an MFIN as a way to further my studies, get better marks and apply to these...

I can't find one graduate program that hires graduates in any of these capacities - can you please point me in the right direction? What is 'shipping trading'? I can't find any thing on google.

Aww as if the first/last letters of your name mean anything. But out of respect I'll do it. Also, I find the tone and clipped nature of your original reply to be 'impolite', I don't become an e-dick for no reason. Anyway, w.r.t to electricity/gas trading - I never even knew these positions...

Your reply didn't address any of the issues I raised in my original post Mr X How about you provide some specifics, or directly agree/disagree with what I said and why. EDIT: A credible source has told me that getting a job (any professional job) > pursuing an MFin degree. How? Spoke to a...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's a realistic option when it comes to careers such as trading, structuring, PE etc. Maybe in accounting and law that's a realistic possibility where there are defined tiers of practices (and you can move up/down as you please because the skills are...

I know a law degree can take you places other than practicing as a lawyer, but I would think post-grad law is perceived differently to a combined undergrad degree with law/business/science etc - I can't do 3 years of post grad F/T law study and then apply for IB/Accounting positions. I thought...

I know a lot of people who had hoped to get into the finance sector but with employment levels so low a lot of people have missed out. I know a few (incl myself) are thinking of doing a Masters in Finance after our bachelors. However, just thinking about it, I'm wondering how much that extra...

1st year math/comp sci majors from WA know much about life and careers.

Mate that just looks like a watered down version of UNSW's masters in fin maths. It's only 5 subjects long and is a major within the MComm. I don't have the authority to say which courses are better than others, but I can say with near certainty that doing the quant fin major in usyd' Mcomm...

Are you referring to USYD's honours/PhD financial math programs? I don't think USYD offer a Masters in any 'financial maths' disciplines (not 100% sure, just never read/heard about). I can't really comment, as I said I haven't read/heard much about USYD. If you're talking about honours/PhD...

UTS is not one of the worlds top uni's (true) but the MQF is Aus's only true quant fin degree and is very 'respected' - the UNSW masters is purely theoretical, if you just look at the course descriptions, whereas the UTS masters covers practical topics encountered in industry. This is info I've...

Statistics (turning raw data into 'information') applied to business - so the stock market, interest rate predictions etc As to whether it's boring, I suggest you make a list of the degrees/majors you want to do then decide which you'll like most

Thousands of HSC students do 4u mathematics (as in both UTS and UNSW business/commerce are the same thing) but the quality of teaching of 2u mathematics will be better at James Ruse, as opposed to Blacktown HS. I hope that makes sense, I apologise if I insulted you. Don't assume I am saying that...

Everyone above me is a fucking moron, don't listen to them. The degrees/majors are the same in essence. Obviously things will be differently taught etc as you would also find when comparing USYD/UNSW commerce, but UTS business is practically the same as UNSW/USYD commerce. UNSW is considered...

He's assuming people drop out so you can take their spot. I wouldn't consider it a realistic option, because first people have to drop it (I think ACCT co-op only need to maintain a C average) and then you'll have to interview for the position again

I didn't even know there were prop trading internships. Does he have any experience in the area?

co-op any day of the week and it isn't close

Some one I know got a grad offer ($53,000) and they had a near pass average, no extra curricular activities (including no p/t job ever) and while he is not a bad person, he is far from confident/energetic etc that most places seem to ask for. If he can do it, there is hope for any one.

If others have done it before you, it means its not impossible. Good luck
