"It is something very personal, very important thing. It is the family motto of Hell. Are you ready Jerry? I want, that you're ready, brother. Here it is is: Show the money. SHOW! ME! ! MONEY! Jerry, it's so happy to see that! Say it to me again, Jerry. "

-Rod Tidwell, "Jerry Maguire" (1996)

"If I am a technical major, how can I get funding? Show me the money!"

I can see answer this question a lot, maybe because I'm not self-finance background. Or maybe just because everyone wants to get funding.

How can you use his technical background in the jungle in March to fund the work? As the technical person on the right school, you have two ways of fractures:

  1. Get the investment banking analyst position technology or TMT (technology, media and telecom group), a bank. You are using is not your quantitative / analytical background and instead use the interest in the industry and work ethic to get in.
  2. Get a job quantitative hedge fund or make a trade / investment bank in interest. You do not leverage and the probability of a quantitative skills in

These two the second is the easiest for most engineers. Wall Street has never been a more quantitative, and it is just to get more focus on quant, every day. Although recent times of some problems in the credit market and some high-profile funds such as the difficulty of the prestigious Goldman Global Alpha, this trend does not stop soon.

Hedge Fund and related work

Campus recruitment at these sites is less common than it is a bank analysts, but it's there, if you are looking for it. Citadel, one of the largest hedge funds in the world, not undergraduate recruitment program for its rotation, like Jump Trading, which is based out of Chicago.

The good news is that if you're an engineer at a major top university, you have a good chance of landing these jobs, even though there is no previous financial experience. If you're in this position and through campus recruitment, you need to emphasize your interest in the fund, because it is how they are candidates. Here Citadel is a direct quotation from the recruiter:

"To be honest, we know you're all pretty good volume … in the end you have an engineer degree in one of the top programs in the country. You need to show us that you are interested in finance because that's what distinguishes you. "

During the interviews, it asks you to quantitative issues, but it is important that you show them you've been strong and consistent interest in finance. Is it a good story ready, especially in personal investing and why you are particularly well suited to be a merchant.

Trading job "fit" part of the interview is even more important than it is a bank. If you do not trade stocks between classes and wake up early in the morning to read the economic news, gaming is a good hobby to mention. I was asked, I have been video poker / online poker and other casino games when interviewing hedge fund jobs. You insist, hobbies / Interests that seem to think of risk versus reward.

No thanks, I really want to be a banker

The entire disclosure: To do this, but the hours will be much worse than the trade, the wage is not much better and you have to do really is negligible, low-value added work. The advantage is you have a wider variety of exit options – a technical and then the bank will set you well venture capital, for example. And perks are nice.

As the technical person, you have several things going for you right away: no one questions the intelligence, and they probably will not ask you the solution played or math questions. If you get a degree in electrical engineering, you can do Excel calculations to sleep. And no one questioned the attention to detail (or at least one much more than if you had a great English).

What you focus on the recruitment and interviewing is to show you 1) to fund interest and 2) the ability to deal with hours / stress at work, which is considerably worse than the engineering / tech company.

A few more tips: when you talk to are interested in finance must cite the tech companies, if you're applying to Bank Tech. And not just mention Google or Facebook. These are clearly visible from the technology, but anyone can learn them by reading or listening to friends, TechCrunch.

You need to show genuine interest in the field, which means the initiative and we talk about lesser-known companies. Before my interviews with banks, tech groups I made a list of less well-known startups / other companies I found interesting and was preparing a story about each. You should do the same.

To the extent that the second paragraph of the treatment of stress / h, because the technology a significant you would have been much extended range of the project … These are all good mention, as are all the product placements which began requiring "crunch time" at the end.
