"The finance hedge funds had the most strict req's. Target school, CS degree (nothing else but CS), no Masters or higher degree, 0-2 years of experience etc."

haha, I had considered this route since I have a BS in CS/math and MS in math and I figured they would like that more. apparently not. I like working 40 hours a week anyways at an employer that pays more more for the MS.

...and will just take the financial actuarial exams if I want in that route anyways.
