    What you hate about UNSW

    I have a feeling that it "appears" there are so many asians for a few reasons (I probably won't have covered them all). - lots of selective school people --> local asians, on top of the internationals - the internationals live close by and actually go to class. You can bet after a few weeks...

    Front-office salary - What should I expect? Newbie?

    I think it depends on the market, as for example, in FX work different hours or stay longer to manage your book. But it's still reasonable compared to IB hrs. These reasons are all somewhat related...

    Front-office salary - What should I expect? Newbie?

    But that's just market making vanillas. What about the structured derivatives area?

    Front-office salary - What should I expect? Newbie?

    It's not Citi, but in the same league. I'm inclined towards interest rate/FX vanilla and exotic options. Newbie, u started working full-time yet?

    Front-office salary - What should I expect? Newbie?

    In terms of the range of packages, who is near the bottom? Do US banks pay more than European ones? Are Corporate Finance packages really that comparable with those for trading? I would have thought most IBers would be nervous given rates are on the rise so fewer debt-financed acquisitions.

    UNSW vs. UTS which is better Must decide quickly!!

    Hey, sorry to hijack this thread, but since it's still active... Mr Shittles and newbie, which retail/investment banks in sydney have trading desks for exotic derivatives (eg equity, rates, credit, etc)? Here is my take: 1) the big 4 banks aren't sophisticated enough and are too heavily...

    B.Eco at UNSW or B.Bus at UTS?

    UNSW considered the AACSB accreditation quite a few years ago (2002~ ish) but decided the cost wasn't worth it (see Business Faculty Board minutes for further details). Also, I have a feeling only shit business schools with a chip on their shoulder need to PAY to get the label. eg Uni of Melb...

    B.Eco at UNSW or B.Bus at UTS?

    Sarcasm doesn't translate well on the Internet. Well, as an undergrad, you can only rate the uni based on the teaching quality and level of competition. UNSW has some pretty slick marketing, but despite this many of its subjects are poorly taught. In general, I can't imagine UTS being able...

    B.Eco at UNSW or B.Bus at UTS?

    There is an equivalent Business Statistics major. Like I said, it's just a different label.

    B.Eco at UNSW or B.Bus at UTS?

    You're an idiot. Just a different label for almost the same thing. BCom is clearly better as it's less restrictive.

    B.Eco at UNSW or B.Bus at UTS?

    Isn't UTS a rubbish uni? My advice is to apply for B Ec at UNSW and then transfer to B Com in first year as you are not forced to do a major from Economics. If you're considering UTS, you're probably not good enough to get a Economist-type job, which are few and far between since the...

    Probability Paradox

    The measure of the rationals Q is zero. First, note that Q is countable (as it can be enumerated {q_1,q_2,q_3,...) and denote the Lebesgue measure lambda(.) (Over [0,1], this corresponds to a uniformy distributed random variable). Recall that the "measure" is a function mapping a set to the...
