CUHK Quantitative Finance and Risk Management job prospects

Recently I got accepted to CUHK's QFRM, my first choice inHK. A set of factors didn't let me apply for a business degree, and my passion for juggling numbers is not something I want to waste, so my choice fell on this program. What are my prospects in HK's IB?WSOzoo's views on this university are controversial af, and I see that CUHK consistently ranks lower than HKU and UST, but there still are people saying that CU is on par and sometimes better. Also, please note that I'm a Russian from Middle Asia, proficient in three languages, none of which is SE Asian. Although I can't say for sure, I believe that I'm able to boost my Mandarin up to a level needed for business communications in 2-3 years.

First of all, congrats on your offer.

If you are interested specifically in IB in Hong Kong, it's hard for a foreigner coming out of a local school. You can run a quick Linkedin search to see how many non-ChineseIBAnalysts there are out there - close to none. Speaking working proficiency Mandarin won't help much, you need to be a native speaker. Having said this, CU is a good school and QFIN is a strong program. If you're interested in S&T or other non-IB roles, it will position you well for those.

退出是什么机会你在德吗scribed? Also, I'm kind of a baby monke, don't really know much about the roles outside theIB. Aren't those positions inHKperspectively less interesting or lucrative? And finally, is it common or easy to transfer to London orNYCout ofHKin case I wish to continue my career elsewhere? Can I switch toIBwhen transferring?
