Hello everyone-
I am a first time poster and am seeking some advice regarding grad school. I am a programmer at heart and am working currently as an independent programmer(not in the financial industry) while finishing a BS in Comp Sci. I would really like to get into either algo trading system dev. or any other quant dev. My question lies with the type of grad program that would be best for me. I would say I am pretty fluent in C# and C++, so I would like to direct my grad school studies more towards math. Does anyone have any advice as to where I should focus my studies (MFE or Financial Math) if I want to end up being a developer? Or will I end up doing development stuff anyway if I grab either of these degrees?
