Congrats! UC Berkeley sounds exciting. However, I would strongly recommend you to take CS offer based on my experience. coz S&T is the most juicy position in IB. You can get rich very quickly. After two years, you are at a much better position to do what ever you want. Plus, Asian market has the most volatility in these 2 years, it is a historical opportunity that all chinese financial professional do not want to miss... As to the North American market, it is so matured and stable, thus not much upward potential. Most Chinese financial engineering grads don't get a chance to get into S&T in North America (due to culture and language barrier), and stuck with Risk Modeling or Programming, like myself. Risk Modeling pays salary&bonus usually much less than those in S&T. I have been doing derivative risk for over 2 years, not much fun and am thinking about going back to school for MBA in order to get into trading/portfolio management in HK. |
