The world of quantitative finance has changed dramatically over recent years, and we strive to stay at the forefront of new growth and trends. The IEOR Career Team sources internships and jobs that align with the curriculum and organizes weekly employer events in the department or at the employer’s location in New York City. This ever-changing calendar of targeted recruiting events and Financial Engineering seminars will keep you busy. Students also benefit from resources provided by Columbia’s Center for Career Education.
MSFE graduates gravitate towards quantitative roles in banks, hedge funds, asset management firms, and ratings and financial services advisory firms. These roles are predominantly in algorithmic trading and trade support, financial modeling and quantitative strategy, portfolio management, valuation, quantitative research, and risk management.
