把这么好的回复顶上来！！
没错，严重赞成20L。。。在法国做Risk, Quant之类的 一个工程师院校的硕士文凭 ...

from the view of science and engineering (and thus those now working in risk and quant)
those (99.99%) from business school and program only are weak in maths (and programming), and only know to "blow water".

They are kept away from any core modelling stuffs, and will better go to do presentation and drink with clients.
as they techniques are not solid enough, their mindset are not analytical enough, ..........
and LBS, INSEAD, HEC all counts as so.........unless one have a solid enough education before
(MBA is kind of a minus for a solid quantitative modeling job indeed.....)

of course one may go for the non-quantitative, but more regulatory side for risk.........but as OP have an engineering background, it is much easier to go on the quant side rather than the legal side (which again will like someone with a legal background instead a pure business one)

P.S.1 indeed if one did some research into quantitative finance program, most of the good one over the world are hosted by math/stat , or OR department,
but not the business school (except UCB maybe also UCLA........CMU also but CMU is a tech school, and except Warwick which have a strong math department too)

P.S.2 myabe  bit too late, but i really doubt the decision that OP is target are 行研 and risk management together.......as a experienced professional, OP should be knowledgeable enough to choose in advance as the education preparation for them is kind of different.....

哦哦 谢谢大神啦  其实我是在法国本科在读啦。。。
但是工程师在一些教授的眼里就是再Quant领域称王称霸
对啦， 我想问问，如果一个商科（偏文科）的本科生，可以转quant吗，难度系数到底是多大呢（学渣的我表示也没有上X或者6大的野望，其他的工程师院校或者OR专业也行啊）

不知道大神觉得ESSEC 底下的OR部门怎么样，这个可能对我来说算比较实际的吧

please list the math & stat course taken (if those are from business or economics school, please mark that)
and also programming language you know.

P.S. not really familiar with france engineering school indeed.......but that will be essential for answering, even if not me.

not too familiar......but to me, France is indeed not a good place to do finance.......

they are good becuase:
1. some business school are good, such that they are good enough to feed the students to London.
2. some engineering school are good, such that they are good enough to feed the students to London.

locally:
the value of France school are more like close connection with industry........but imagine I am a engineer in finance, I will defintly consider various Poly is I want a quant/risk/analytical guy......
and thus I dont see the point of doing a OR major in a business school indeed.......as most likely their connection are not on that side.

put aside language and culture issue, I will prefer school in UK first, or consider school in Germany (have Frankfurt), or Netherlands and Switzerlands before France..

P.S. I guess some part of this comment wont fit you well as you have a bit france background and speak French........please adjust youself...

Bachlor from a tier 2 french  Business School
BSc in international Business major
math & Stat : Statistics, Time Series( actually without credits, only participation  ),  Calculus,
只有这么多了
还有线性回归是在各个课老师讲完了要讲的东西，剩下的时间穿插着讲的

i will say...........better forget about quantitative stuffs,
or be prepared to spend one year back on mathematics & statistics.

(calculus based) probability is kind of a must, a stand alone regression is very important, auditing dont count.
in general, calculus + linear albegra + prob + stat is a must, and one need quite a number of senior / advanced topics: like regression, time series, stochastic calculus, differential eqn, optimization, analysis, numerical......

you may still try something like IC RMFE level of maths though.........(but I dont think that's enough indeed.....)
