thanks, LZ, I am studying Financial Engineering, similar to quant. And the products I am interested in are futures and options, so I want to find an quant job in Chicago. But i am afraid that my computer experience is not so good as you. and my director told us that it's not possible for a master student to find an quant job. So can LZ give me more ideas on how to improve my program experience or recommend some books about the computer program? by the way, can LZ say more something about the interview, espeically finance part and math, programming part, such as what questions the companys will ask, what the companys expect when concerning about the computer programs? It's a lot of questions, but I will graduate this Auguest. So I am very appreciate LZ can give me more advice. Thank you again.

there are bacislly two types of quant:

quant analysist: need strong math/finance. ideally PHD in math or physics plus finance master.

quant developer: need strong programming. ideally computer science with a strong math or finance background.

Also, there are programmer positions in a quant group, which is like 100% percent Computer, but these programmers like to call themselves quant too. ;)
For fresh master graduate or someone in other major, most likely will start work on a quant developer lvl. programming skill is more important than math/finance knowledge.

Lots of chinese choosed Finance engineering master program recently, like what happened in CS several years ago. But get a degree in FE is not necessarily the best way to get into quant area. Especially at developer level, which is very likely the start point, programming skills is way more important. Understand your advantage, get some basic knowledges which you don't know yet, then you are good to go.
