Physics Lectures for the General MIT Community: e Working on Wall Street
Scott McDermott
Fri Jan 20, 01:30-02:30pm, 32-123
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Scott McDermott, managing director at Goldman Sachs and an alumni of MIT’s physics department, will speak about his perceptions of what physics graduates can offer the financial services industry. Wall Street, hedge funds, investment management, mortgage finance, and consumer lending are all areas where physics training can be helpful in solving business problems. Scott will give some examples of where physicists have been successful in the financial services industry, and describe some of the roles that newly-hired physics students might play. More practically, Scott has been active in recruiting MIT students and physics students generally to his firm, and will give his opinions about what financial services recruiters are looking for in a candidate, and how physics students might prepare for their interviews.
