Most quantitative people I see have backgrounds in physics and not in any other science. My degree is EE which is almost physics, if i give up on MBA and this kinda degree and starting to publish papers and work to get admissions from top good schools overseas how easy will it be to do finances/technology with a PhD? In here people have PhD but mostly due to British systems and that , but in U.S it’s not the degree but the work done so I don’t know if this is the correct thing to do.
EE is applied physics so I know. Someone corrected me in here , it’s Stanford so please use the correct version. Also I haven’t heard from them but have applied, hopefully things go well hahaha.
How did you score on the GMAT? Also, I’m pretty sure most MBA programs require at least 2 years experience, but it seems like you’re fresh out of undergrad?
I think hedge funds like PhD physicists as well. But, you’re in school for all that time and chances are you’re probably either teaching or doing low paid research, unless you’re some stud.
Yes, yes. Best solution is a dartboard. Get a sharpie, write all the ‘dilemmas’ on the dartboard… and … throw! … oooh don’t like that one ---- okay okay 2/3
You truly have to be an idiot to spend 7-8 years studying postgraduate courses and researching so that maybe and just maybe you may end up in a bank.The only good thing that a Physics PhD will give you is that you will become a Jack of All Trades and master of none. You should know some programming, some mathematics, some statistics and of course some Physics, While most other STEM fields will narrow your focus.This is perhaps why a PhD in Physics may develop better “all round” people.
again!
