I have a MS in applied math and Phd in Statistics, and I am about to take part-time MFE courses in a good fin math program. My questions are:
1. what type of quant jobs I may fit in better with stats backgrond? I can think of quantitative portfolio management ( i know this area is relatively quite difficult to get in) and stat arbitrage. Are there other places that my stats skills may fit better?
2. what are considered to be areas in quant finance that provide potentials and broader job market? Or say, what are considered to be potential or current "hot" areas in quant finance?
I of course will fo research on my own; but your opinion should help a lot for me as a start-off!
Thanks!
