Major Decision

我目前是一所目标学校的新生,不主修商业。我想最终工作HF/PE资金,首先要进行银行业务,但我也考虑尝试在量化基金中工作。我正在研究以下组合之一的潜在主修。

Financial Math and CS:
Pros:
- More quant focused while still leaving banking toPE路径打开

缺点:
- Difficult as hell
- GPA would probably suffer (probably close to a 3.3)

Econ andCS
Pros:
- Easier than Math
- 可能更适用于PEwork? (Could be totally off on this)
- could have a social life and decent GPA (guesstimate is about a 3.5)
- might still be able to do quant (also not sure on this. Would appreciate any feedback)

缺点:
- Econ seems less applicable to QuantHF

业务和CS
Pros:
- 前五名本科商学院
- easier than math or Econ
- could have a social life and very solid GPA

缺点:
- 必须申请商学院,并且可能不会加入(25%的跨校园转会接受率)
- less applicable to potential quant roles

我对Econ vs Math的意见更感兴趣,因为我可能无法开展业务。我知道我想做CS, since I believe it's only going to become more useful and I actually enjoy it a fair bit so far. Any feedback is appreciated.

我在一所顶级的本科商学院做了经济。Econ浪费了他妈的时间,这是所有理论学者,而不是实际应用。当然,这帮助我获得了财务采访,但是在四年的时间里,我没有在传统课程中查看单一的损益表。

如果我足够聪明,我会做数学/CS在a heartbeat. Recruiters, particularly quant, cum their pants over Math/CSpeople. Smartest kid I met in college was a Math/Econ major and had英尺offers out of college with2BBIBD's, 1PE分析要约,以及与一些基金一起在卡利(Cali)进行的量化交易者演出。我还没有保持联系,所以我不记得他去过的地方或他现在在哪里。

In my opinion, the pecking order for you should be: Math, Business (Finance), Econ

感谢您的回复。我和我的数学教授交谈,这似乎真的很有趣,所以我可能会这样做。

招聘人员通常会给GPA余地提供更艰苦的专业吗?

是的,但也不要低估自己。如果您发现有趣的是,您可能会发现自己真的很擅长,并且做得很好。还有“余地”,因为您上了目标学校,因此您的GPA比非目标的美国凡人小得多

GPA“余地”问题很有趣,我不确定。从我的理解来看,它更像是一个盒子检查员,将是最后的决定因素(考虑到所有候选GPA的阈值3.5+)。

您也去目标。您的3.5数学/CSis going to beat a non-target 3.9 finance. Best of luck tho and god bless for even having the baseline intelligence to realistically consider that path.
