Which time-zone do you live in? Maybe it's just me. Which scholarship is this for law at USyd? It's not the 99.95 scholarship because of your uai is 99.7 right? Congrats on your co-op, you're going to be rich.

Yes, if everyone invested in education we as a whole would be much better off economically. We need quality lawyers to sue others and loving doctors to care for us, without them worrying about growing money. The job of growing money should be left to financial advisors, like me.

Eating hamburgers at night, and selling it.

Invest in education; become doctors, lawyers, accountants; and money will grow on you.

Yes futures is the way of the future! Add in options, you'll be even richer and with more options in the future. Hedge funds are the way to go. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/futures.asp http://www.investopedia.com/articles/optioninvestor/02/061302.asp Don't you believe the efficient...

Random walk theory cause the market is too efficient for any financial analysis? Or are you just saying that it's experience that counts? It's highly sought after for those who has good math skills but bad social skills.

They are slightly above average, normally the average quant (3-5 years exp) earn in the 200k-500k us dollars bracket in the states or London. In Aus it's about half due to the aussie dollar and economic difference. The main problem in Aus is not about the salary, I'm sure quants still earn more...

I don't agree with you on that point. To me, investment bankers are normally the nice guys who everyone loves to be with. You don't become liked by lying, you get there by being interested in other people. Networking is simply making a network of friends who will help you along your career or...

I'm not sure what you wanted to do aditya, but if its financial mathematics to become a quant, econometrics would be a better choice than finance in my opinion. Because with econometrics you are exposed to a many different quantative techniques that you wouldn't have met with your soft eng...

I don't see how a software engineering degree would help in IB, but quants yes.

Why would an Investment Banker need a PhD in stats? I think a MBA or a PhD in business or finance would be better. It's Quants that have math PhDs, but I think specialised masters are better though.

Can't you read off the net? It'll be cheaper than getting the hard copy.
