* From what I’ve seen, the ideal profile would be:

bachelor’s degree in physics from an obviously top tier school with a big name

some couple courses relevant to financial applications
-two year analyst job on the trading floor of a securities firm
-MS degree from Carnegie Mellon, or maybe U Chicago MBA with a quantitative twist. Or better yet, physical sciences PhD with coursework from any of these financial engineering programs."*

Monydad, could you please clarify for which profession the above profile is ideal?

I am a bit confused about the progression in the studies of the “ideal” candidate.
