This is Jie, and currently enrolled in MQE program at UCLA. I would like to be a quant researcher in the future and plan to apply an MFE next year.
Objective: To learn C++ for admission to MFE programs.
Programming experience: Python, SQL, C++.
Current work: The sad jobless student.
Intended pace of program: As soon as possible, I am committed to challenging myself to deeply understand a new subject. I believe gaining proficiency in C++ is essential. Alongside this, I also plan to develop my mathematical skills for quantitative analysis.
