Need true advice: "Do I have a chance?"
Hello world, I'm from Egypt. I'm currently studying Statistics and CS at a local university. I was passionate about QF before knowing its name; always, when I was young, thinking about how to apply math and statistics to financial decision-making and general life. But there are no QF jobs in Egypt, and I hear that very talented people abroad get rejected from fancy universities. Am I being unrealistic and dreaming to have a chance in a career like that? Has anyone had an experience like this? What advice can you give me? It's painful to do a lot of work and in the end get nothing.
