X-HEC Data & Finance
Hi everyone!
I just got an offer for the double degree in data science and finance between Ecole Polytechnique and HEC.
I also have an offer from Bocconi (finance) and I was wondering which program I should go for a career in markets. I know some people got into HFs (level of Man Group) straight after the double degree, but still would like some opinions.
Consider I don’t speak French, I’m Italian, but I plan to start my career in London (I have done my exchange semester at LSE, for what it can matter).
As a “”backup plan””I have IB and PE.
What would you guys do?
I’m drawn by the quantitative aspect of Ecole Polytechnique - the first year is Machine Learning and Stats focused. Do you think that gives me a shot for roles as a quant?
