Hi all
I have recently received an admit from UCLA MFE. In this regard, I had a few queries and was wondering if anyone could offer some inputs.
Just to give a little background on my profile, I have around five years of credit experience in India working in an European Bank at the VP level. I want a long term career transition to buy side / portfolio management which I plan to start as a quant research associate / junior PM in a buy side firm esecpially in fixed income / credit.
1. Is that kind of career transition possible post the UCLA MFE? It will be great if you could share any information that you may have.
2. How much of programming is necessary in a buy side role in terms of day to day work? I have very little idea on the same and hence any relevant insights will be greatly appreciated.
3. In terms of role offer, how do they vary across buyside shops against the big bulge banks? In terms of work profile, how much programming heavy are the roles across the big banks?
One off topic question here. Just out of curiosity, how much effect do you think any potential negative developments in China will have on the US market? While I have some idea, would love to learn from anyone who is currently sitting there with a better view.
Thanks.
