It is rare to find content that is advanced enough to meet a university-level standard, but with the material from Quantify Your Career, I found that! I have greatly enjoyed using the material from the “Term Structure Models” course as supplementary material for my master’s thesis project. The content is highly relevant, well-structured, and grounded in academic papers. At the same time, Quantify Your Career gives you the option to expand on the project if you want to, which I have personally found very useful. Overall great material and highly professional

I had a 1:1 career guidance session with Hiteeksha, and it was incredibly valuable. As an MFE graduate, you’re exposed to a wide range of technical topics, but strong grades alone don’t guarantee interview success. There’s often a gap between technical knowledge and knowing how to present yourself effectively, articulate your experience, and address what interviews actually test beyond textbooks. Hiteeksha is a perfect resource for bridging that gap. It’s rare to have the opportunity to spend hours with a BlackRock VP who can walk through your resume in detail, discuss past interview setbacks, challenge your technical thinking, and help you frame your experience through an interviewer’s and macro-level lens, while also sharing concrete tools to improve. Immediately after the session, I decided to commit to a clear long-term career plan based on our discussion, which helped me better prioritize skill development and position myself more strategically for full-time roles. I would 100% recommend this to anyone in a similar position, and I’ve already encouraged friends to do the same as they work toward securing full-time roles.

I had a 1:1 call with Hiteeksha for guidance on breaking into quantitative finance. She provided me with clear direction on the right skills to build and the key areas to focus on. She also shared valuable resources and links to help me channel my efforts effectively and accelerate my entry into this field. I look forward to continuing to seek her guidance and mentorship as I work toward building a career in this exciting domain. Wishing Hiteeksha all the very best — I truly hope she continues to inspire and support many more aspiring professionals like me in their journey into quant finance.
I stumbled upon the field of Quantitative Finance by chance, but realized that every step helped me get here!
I started with Consulting at EY, helping banks manage risk and pursued FRM, which led to managing risk for wealth managers at BlackRock. I soon felt intrigued by applications of machine learning in finance and explored Quantitative Finance as a field. I wanted to go deeper into Quant Research and Systematic Investing. That drove me to MFE at UCLA and back to BlackRock, where I now work as VP - Quant Research, Multi Asset Strategy.
My journey has taken me through roles across quant finance, data science, consulting, and even product management, giving me a well-rounded perspective on finance from multiple angles—solving complex problems at the intersection of markets, data, and technology.
And I’m always learning, problem-solving, and excited to share insights in navigating this space.
