没有金融分析的背景。大概一年之后能毕业，对本行没了往日的热情，想转行金融。
现在有这样一些想法，可能略显幼稚：
1. 毕业直接找金融方面的工作。 由于缺乏相关的背景及知识，把握不大；
2. 先在本行业工作（1-2年），同时积累知识（可考虑读一个短期的金融类master），

我想转金融一是因为对现在的方向没太多热情了，二是因为在金融行业发展会更好些（
主要是收入，比较土，见笑了，）。当然也有转过去会更差的可能。
您能解释一下吗？ 谢谢，

发帖数: 42 | 7 Many thanks for your reply.
Frankly, I'm not sure whether I can get higher salary if I do become a
finance guy. As I know, some of my EE friends have a monthly salary around
8K and I doubt how much it could be as the working experience accumulates,
due to the property of the job, mostly coding/algorithms. For a finance
guy, according to the impression I got from some friends, it's quite common
to get a salary higher than 200K per year.
As for the passion, I don't have much 'passion' for finance besides the
money, since I don't really understand it that well to have some.
Another reason I choose finance is that it's not totally unrelated to my
background. Of course I have to admit that a CS job may be more appropriate
talking about background correlation.
I understand that if a person is really outstanding, money is never a
problem whatever the job is, but it's kind of expected that a common IT job
is mostly about coding/algorithm and quite limited space for promotion.

发帖数: 42 | 9 Thanks,
I didn't mean that a finance job requires no coding or can offer many
promotion opportunities, otherwise I won't worry about the C++.
OK, for the money part, is 200K (per year) way higher than real amount?

200k per year for finance pretty much includes base + bonus I suppose, and
it is definitely on the higher end for a fresh quant.

science but the thoughts they are actually hiding is CS is the major most
likely to secure a job with a good enough pay? Hardly to see the difference
between. Our behaviors are always mixed with different interests. Trying to
separate them out would be not pragmatic and cannot justify the long term

发帖数: 42 | 29 Hi guys, many thanks for your kind suggestions and discussions. I
understand that the income depends more on the person himself rather than
the job, and I may have underestimated the competition in this field. I'll
think about it carefully before making the decision.
Thanks again,

转行这件事，关键看自己的兴趣和恒心。还是那句话，自己先接触一下看看有没有兴趣
，有兴趣才有动力。
剩下的就是下决心了，一旦决定就不要回头，也不要管别人如何想，自己的路要自己走。

3rd, reading books by your own won't help you too much, ppl are looking for

5th, you could also go to an IT company to become a proficient programmer in
