Shot in the dark question:

I have project manager currently in the job market. I am based in Houston. I do not have a professional finance background (but I plan to take the Buy Side course from Wall Street Prep).

Is there any entry for me in the hedge fund world (especially if I do not want to move to NYC)?

Hello everyone!
I’m seeking advise from fishers. My brother in law is going to university next year. He was engineering (which is one of the worse decisions someone can do from my experience LOOL). I told him if anything he should do managment engineering which he got accepted to. He also got accepted to Mcmaster- information management systems. Which in my opinion you get a bit of everything! And this degree is picking up a lot of traction’s across tech. More thoughts in the comments
