IB的trader 读不读mfe跟你当不当的上trader没什么绝对联系
HF的trader 不同fund不同 style。特别quant 的quant fund 看不上mfe;但有一些新兴的fund强调quant and discretionary结合的有一定机会
参见某hf招trader描述:
We are not traditional “quantitative funds” that use HFT, Stat Arb or so. Our strategy is not any single named quant strategy but we require our trader to have a high level understanding of advanced mathemathics since we rely on heavily quantitative analysis
点进去一看:trader们里面最多的是牛剑藤校的math/phys/cs,剩下的约10%来自top mfe program
所以这个年代 当个trader不是反应快会心算就好了 mfe或多或少还是能够学到点高级一丢丢的东西的
