They can be but only top universities, Oxford MCF and Imperial Math+Fin are the only ones that do well. Msc computational finance at UCL is fine for sell-side quant, LSE MSC EME is also really good but not common route to qt stuff.
Glasgow is not getting you a true quant role. Warwick much better but still a stretch

I am a fresh grad and just had my first ever job in the government this year January, but just to secure my future, I also enrolled in SSS last March, paying the minimum contribution and right afterwards my first contribution on April I also applied for the voluntary pension booster. And I have been paying both the minimum contribution + my desired added pension booster amount, every month. And I have been paying until last month July, and my payments have been reflecting on my SS Portal.
I am not sure about this info but please do research for yourself.
If I am understanding it right, pension booster has voluntary and mandatory. The mandatory is for those above the 20,000 MSC, this is called the Mandatory Provident Fund Program. That is 15%(?) of the excess of the 20,000 MSC, up to the 35,000 MSC.
This is because the AMSC formula for the monthly pension is only up to 20,000. The excess is computed and then contributed to the MPF program. Para siyang Pag-IBIG MP2 Program, this has no formula for computing the gains, it depends on the performance of the program, pero usually mas mataas talaga yung return niya compared sa monthly pension formula based ng SSS pension.
Meanwhile everyone I think is allowed to enroll on the voluntary type of the pension booster. Kasi nga para siyang MP2, na it is voluntary.

Mags is interesting character, because she seems ALMOST aware, always on the verge of the realization of what she have done, and that there's nobody else but her to blame for her situation, but nevertheless she always lapses back into delusions of 'WE WON' and 'WAGMI'.
And this tiny reply is really revealing in terms of the scope of said delusions. There is no a fraud case, there never was a fraud case. 20230930-DK-Butterfly-1, Inc. v. Edelman et al was NOT about any fraud, but about 'breach of fiduciary duty' by the BoD of Bed Bath & Beyond. It was settled along with other case (20230930-DK-Butterfly-1, Inc. v. MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company) in 2025 for a total amount of $33,052,000 and those money were already paid to top priority creditor (i.e. Sixth Street). Class 9 (former shareholders) are not entitled for any payment, until all previous classes are paid in full, with ~$2.8 billion is yet to be paid.
