刚收到offer, 当初随便申请(也没有报多大希望)， 现在需要衡量一下要不要去读这个. 我是做IT的,

不知道MFE出来除了quantz以外还能做什么？

financial analyst或者cash flow analyst跟quantz有什么区别, 他们青睐MFE的毕业生吗？还是CFA或者ACCA在这方面比MFE更有优势？

NUS跟NTU的比一下那个更好?除了NTU更贵以外

我对做finance的工作结构一点都不了解，请papaya, dengke, 临水照花以及各位在做finance的指点.谢谢了.

课程很累，你又没有兴趣，这不是耽误时间耽误钱吗。

你今后想干什么？

同意邓可，这个比较personal不好说。 不过可以告诉你几本书，你去看看如果感兴趣就读。 或者是我去美国之前，据木瓜说，大家会再见面一次，你可以一起来。

MFe的内容我都是很感兴趣的，主要问题是我不是很清楚quantz 具体是做什么的， 跟risk management 的不同之处可以说说吗

所以现在要搞清楚各个职位都是做些什么，我对finance的知识学了一些，也感兴趣,所以可塑性很强。看到frpapara以前说front office的工作的pay很有potential，所以想问：

1， front office包括哪些entrylevel的职位，quantz 是吗？

2， quantz 平时都做些什么？ 看到dengke 是做corporate finance的，不知道跟CFA同学做的是一样的东西吗？

谢谢耐心解答.

谢谢

Financial analysts, also called securities analysts and investment analysts, work for banks, insurance companies, mutual and pension funds, securities firms, and other businesses, helping these companies or their clients make investment decisions. Financial analysts read company financial statements and analyze commodity prices, sales, costs, expenses, and tax rates in order to determine a company value and project future earnings. They often meet with company officials to gain a better insight into a company prospects and to determine the company managerial effectiveness. Usually, financial analysts study an entire industry, assessing current trends in business practices, products, and industry competition. They must keep abreast of new regulations or policies that may affect the industry, as well as monitor the economy to determine its effect on earnings.

Financial analysts use spreadsheet and statistical software packages to analyze financial data, spot trends, and develop forecasts. On the basis of their results, they write reports and make presentations, usually making recommendations to buy or sell a particular investment or security. Senior analysts may actually make the decision to buy or sell for the company or client if they are the ones responsible for managing the assets. Other analysts use the data to measure the financial risks associated with making a particular investment decision.

Financial analysts in investment banking departments of securities or banking firms often work in teams, analyzing the future prospects of companies that want to sell shares to the public for the first time. They also ensure that the forms and written materials necessary for compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations are accurate and complete. They may make presentations to prospective investors about the merits of investing in the new company. Financial analysts also work in mergers and acquisitions departments, preparing analyses on the costs and benefits of a proposed merger or takeover.

也许对你有点启发

I got the MFE offer from NUS yesterday. I am certainly perfered NUS progrm because it is much cheaper and i am currently unemployed in Singpaore.

I am interested in the area and planed to take the CFA exam and the FRM exam recently. However, To pursue the degree is a big investment including time and money. I am worried about whether, when and how I could find a better job after I completed the MFE progrm. I also want to know how much can I be paid in the arena? Please give me some information! Thanks!

By the way, I decided to take the 2005 FRM exam. But the material is too expensive - 399 US dollar including notes and testbank. If your guys also want to take the exam, please inform me. perhaps, We can share the costs and prepare the exam together.

Best wishs,

比如本坛的木瓜CFA等等。

他们做一样的吗？

return is equal to the amount of work you delivered....

since you said: "return is equal to the amount of work you delivered....". I thought it was salary based.

Any degree like MFE or certificate like CFA are just a media for you to learn the knowledge and tap on the industry. It is a START but not END of yr learning

1. It doesn't mean once you have these you MUST go to do certain kind of job. It is just like you graduate from Computing now wanna do something else and it is POSSIBLE

2. It doesn't mean once you have these you CAN do certain kind of job. It depends on yr attitude, intelligence, vision or even luck

3. ACCA is an accounting certificate, it is not really comparable with CFA, so i would like suggest you spend sometime to do some research YOURSELF to understand more about these programs

4. In terms of pay, there is a very simple principle: The less the people can do what you can do, the higher is yr pay. so if you want to get a thick pay slip, you got to be someone NON-REPLACABLE. I remember Robert Kiosaki said: if an investment broker profit so much from his investment, he does not need persuade you to invest with him :P

5. If you look at the job requirement for famous investment bank like JP Morgan, they seldom have a very particular specialised requirement. Because what the person knows today is not important, but what he thinks is.

you have nothing to lose

dun worry. always follow your interest
