The Lally School’s Financial Engineering and Risk Analytics (FERA) program is among a select group of Financial Engineering programs participating in the National Financial Mathematics Career Fair on October 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in New York City.
The National Financial Mathematics Career Fair, co-hosted by the International Association of Financial Engineers (IAFE) and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, is the premier forum for recruiters from top-flight financial institutions to meet some of best-qualified quantitative finance graduate students in the nation. Last year’s event brought together more than 300 students from over thirty graduate institutions, such as Carnegie Mellon, the University of Chicago, Cornell, NYU, Columbia, Baruch College, Berkeley, and the University of Toronto, to meet with recruiters from Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, and Bloomberg, among others.
Student registration deadline is October 2. Registration is limited to enrolled graduate students in participating Financial Engineering programs. To register, students must submit a resume conforming to the Fair’s resume guidelines and pay a $45 registration fee. Recruiters will receive electronic copies of the Resume Book before the Career Fair, as well as a hard-copy version at the event.
The event program includes an interactive speaker panel on “How I Became a Quant” with top financial engineering professionals, followed by a career fair. As in past years, private interviews with recruiters will be possible before and during the main event.
