MFE Career Series
In the next coming months, I intend to lay out some job functions/roles/departments that most MFEs get hired for. In my experience, most MFEs are career changers, and as soon as they get to school, they get so busy with the stochastic calc and econometrics stuff, that they sometimes dont have time to research all the job functions.

The topics briefly would be:

- Buy side (portfolio mgmt, buyside research)
- Trading Positions (Trader, Trading Assistant, Junior Trader, etc)
- Structuring
- Sales (??)
Will try to post on this series when I get back to school!!
