Career Changes

"I am currently working in Marketing Analytics and Data Science. Corporate Derivative Sales was not the long-term occupation for me (particularly the sales portion of it).  I decided to look outside finance where I could apply my knowledge of

data analytics."

-Wing-Ho Choi (Class of 2011)

"I'm still with the same employer for whom I interned while at Cornell."

-Benjamin Pickett (Class of 2014)

"I'm working in the energy sector in commodity-structured transactions valuation and execution."

-Sushant Nigam (Class of 2008)

"I am a Brand Manager for a consumer packaged foods company. I decided to pursue an MBA in Marketing after working in Sales & Trading post-Cornell."

-Kyung Park (Class of 2008)

"I'm currently working at LinkedIn as a senior data scientist. My past quant research experience in the financial industry and the technical training I got from CFEM helped tremendously to get my foot in the door [of the tech industry]."

-Luxin Kang (Class of 2012)

"I am using quant knowledge to govern different aspects in Model Risk, including restrictions and model anomalies."

-Yudong Yang (Class of 2017)

Career Changes Continued

"I am going back to school to get a PhD in Operations Research at UT Austin. It's something I have been meaning to do since CFEM, and I am looking forward to doing math and working on optimization problems again.

-Remy Pasco (Class of 2012)

"I'm currently pursuing the data analytics field."

-Zhunyou Hua (Class of 2014)

"I build large scale models at Amazon to make reviews more informative. I found limited opportunities to build models in growing a business in the financial domain, but there exists a lot of opportunity to do so in technology.

FE at Cornell was very helpful in developing a strong, conceptual foundation. CFEM is uniquely positioned in NYC to provide an industrial exposure to learning. It can further add value by identifying such interests at the beginning and connecting with relevant alumni who can mentor students."

-Kunal Rajani (Class of 2012)

"I am thinking about switching to startup/venture capital/blockchain companies."

-Xiaoyun Guo (Class of 2015)
