你好 我有个理工的运筹和投资的offer，本科是工科的，算是转专业了，想从事基金 证券行研或类似部门，不 ...

find a better offer if possible; reason = it is polyu only.

P.S. and I am a bit doubt about the plan as you know the difficulties of switching from engineering to 证券行研. Are you sure that you are from a top enough university, or have a solid accounting and business sense for that?

P.S.2 Look into the course syllabus, and you will know how far is it from a truly solid master in FM/Stat/etc. It will not be a concern for 证券行研, but will be so if for a want a technical/related role in finance.

我在网上看到港大统计项目开设了近30年，每年只招30~40人左右，应该是一个质量很好的项目~但青灵学姐的看法是统计和金融是两个行业，国内统计专业的就业面应该比较窄，我准备下周去港大了解一下这个项目，谢谢您的热心解答~

行研比较看重学校，这只是首选。学校一般的985....
我也在准备考CFA 增加点金融背景。 你说还需要accounting， 也很重要么 岂不是我要去考试CPA:dizzy:
如果目标只是做券商或基金，可能性会不会比较大。那前辈看课程是比较适合那些部门呢 那些比较好呢  风控？

看了下课程觉得其实课程都不算没用的课
可是离行研的确有点儿远
国内行研喜欢主要两种    一种是工科本科商科研究生背景的，去做权益的行业研究
一种是宏观方向功底很扎实的   做宏观和策略
数理背景的一般都去做量化   可是这个课程其实离量化挺远

如果没有更好的offer这个其实也不错
因为其实学科也只是学科而已
课程设置得再好   离行业实务都差的远呢   
大牛都是自己学习积累的    多去实习考证
其实学校能给的指引是非常有限的

所以不用太纠结学校
有更好的offer就去   没有就自己多计划实习考证

国内其实就看实习经历和研究能力

cfa cpa这些都不是必要条件   
不要舍近求远   直接多看研报多去实习
任何学校课程和考试都离真实的行业有不少距离

Finance is an industry, but it is not necessary that one have to have a finance degree to enter it.
Indeed I feel that a finance degree cover too many topic without enough depth, while a entry level role in finance is more likely a role that specializing in some smaller duty.
and the skills set that's useful for a role depends more on the division more than the name of "financial industry", just imagine what kind of background that a compliance role, risk, trading, equity research, marco research role, control and finance role will prefer. I guess finance won't be the only first coming up for any single choice of them.

Of course if one is really very excellent (i.e. top school + good grade + good internship), then it is likely that the firm will be willing to train one up, kind of like traditional good MT program in top company, which the company only take the smartest applicants.

Unless you are a superman, you will not be able to do a quantitative master, CPA, CFA all together at the same time.

Given that the initial profile is neither top or fit enough (non top school, no related internship, difference discipline), I would suggest you not to make such a big switch.

P.S. for your goal, I guess a MSc in a related discipline (e.g. accounting, management, finance, applied economics) from a target university (or eqv. level) is necessary to be safe (given one work hard).

and I will say it is not thinking which division you are go given a master, but in the other way round: thinking what you want (and what you can want), and go to a suitable master that prepare you well for that.

they do have quite many course in model and method, and that's true that the program is on the quantitative side.

the problem is indeed.......I will expect a more advanced level of course given it is a master.
If you compare it to other solid MFE/QF, you will see the difference:
normally a solid MFE/QF will require an applicant to have a solid quantitative background, who had already studied tons of applied math, stat and programming in the UG, and thus in the master, they are teach the method and model that are used, or more closed to those are used, in quantitative financial analyst.
when you look into the course syllabus, you will find most of the course are quite fundamental, which teaches the foundation skills that are useful to prepare for the truly useful method and model in practice, and quite some of them use bachelor level textbook also.

obviously the master you posted here (polyu decision and risk analysis) has nothing to be done with accounting, and my comment in #55 for this master is also only on the quantitative side of finance, and had nothing related to accounting (and also nothing related to 行研)
