※ 引述《Bfish (fool)》之銘言： : You are certainly right! Yet, when one's in doubt, especially trying to go : into a new filed, getting advice from those who have experiences is crucial : in my point. This is exactly why we learn history, literature and Confusians : at school; why those financial analysists busying comparing charts of different : periods to predict the future growing. Understanding the past, taking pieces : from it and evolve into uses to one's own. : Some people are lucky enough to know from the beginning what they want to do, : Who they are. But to some people, like me, it is a long searching journy. : What I am trying to do here is simply getting advice from people who are : already in the FM, FE or Actuarial fields. With their experiences, : informations and suggestions, will shed some light toward my decision. My suggestion is that you spend some time read all the information in the 精華區 and those comapny's websites. For example, investment banks (GS, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch) and consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, ATKearney ) then you could have a better understanding about these industries and their differences. Because you dont have any experience in financial industry, I also encourage you to learn what is the financial world doing. Besides, you should also check all the FE/FM program's websites (http://www.iafe.org/?id=academicprograms). You can check schools like NYU, UChicago, CMU, Stanford, Columbia, and so on. They all have very clear courses requirement and you could also get some of the lecture notes from the website. Because you have the math background, you could know the meaning of those courses and see if you like that. Moreover, those websites also have some students resumes and the career path of their students so you could know more about what kind of students they admit and what kind of companies and positions hire those students. (at this time you should google those companies and positions to learn the details.) I think after you have done all what I said, you should know what we said the difference between FE/FM and consulting. You could also have more ideas about the career after FE/FM. I started thinking what I want to do since high school, and now I still dont exactly know what kind of job suits me best, because if you dont have the real experience, you never know. However, I tried my best to get all information about what I am interested. Did you check all the websites about the companies and school programs? and google everything you dont know? even you should read 商業週刊 to learn about business world. After that, you will definitely have a better understanding about those things and then you could ask more specific questions instead of the general questions that we could only give you the general advices. The most important thing at this time is that you should make sure if you like the courses offered by FE/FM program and the career. A simple question: do you like math and programming? if not, you should not pursue the FE/FM degree. However, no one could have 100% confidence about anything so you always have to take some risk. I am doing the same thing now. I have told you some jobs that we could get after having FE/FM degree. You could check departments related to 'fixed income,' 'derivatives,' and 'options,' in those investment banks and if you have any further questions about that, just post and I will try my best to answer. -- 天這樣藍樹這樣綠生活原來可以這樣的安寧和美麗 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 69.214.106.199
