1:55 Good afternoon, I am in my sophomore year of community college taking Business Analytics with average math and I am interest in Quant Finance. While i was initially drawn to IB or Private Equity I recently fell in love with math despite my gaps in my education due to inmigration. Do you think it is realistic to start this field on graduate school successfully?
@@will-ti2qs Done! I declared Business analytics with a minor in Statistics for my transfer school. Depending on how it goes I might convert the minor into a double major, any feedbacks?
As I experienced and talked to some of my seniors who got into quant , statistics(model based quantitative skill) seems really important for this industry. Grind statistics as much as possible and pursue MFE or other related majors after your undergraduate would be the best idea!
Thank you for this video and hope your best in the future. Im asking that if my major is finance and im interested to be come a quant resếarcher. Is it possible for me from a background like this ?
Hey man really informative video.I study chemical engineering and I want to study an MSc in quant finance later on. Will I have a strong background for landing a quant job ? Thanks in advance
I think the MSc will serve you well, but before that a very important quality for quant jobs is having a good affinity for mathematics Hardvard has a free Stats 110 course online that we always recommend, so I'd recommend finding out if you like maths and can learn it well before pursuing a quant job
@@nicolocantaluppi5572 gonna be straight up, don't know if you can make the shift. Math is going for you but massive gap in finance knowledge and experience
How can someone who has a bsc economics degree enter into the quant field. Is it is even possible? My degree had a lot of maths but it obviously did not have AS MUCH maths as a math degree or a stats degree
Also I am planning on pursing CFA, ik it's not needed for quant but I love finance and the only reason I'm doing CFA is to learn something new which I find very interesting and fun.
@@shaunsensei6948 Hmmm, a common route many people take is getting a MFE (Masters of Financial Engineering), if you don't want to do that I'd say apply for internships with some other experience that makes you stand out. That can be projects or competitions, a popular one is IMC prosperity or the monthly Jane Street Puzzles
@@QuantQuestionsio thank you for the answer I'll look into these. Are there any quant specific external courses like there is CFA for fundamental and in general financial analysis? Also like how common are people with a bsc econ degree in the quant space? Honestly I just wanna learn quant things and maths. I was not good in maths when college started but I grinded and I actually enjoyed it and became good at it. I wanna learn the more advance stuff just for the sake of it. Yes I would like a quant job but even if I don't get it I would still love to learn it cause I just love learning new things.
Yeah, thats a common path many people take, typically doing a MFE (Masters of Financial Engineering) and then going into quant finance. A statistics bachelors is one of the best foundations you can have, but as an alternative route you could try to land an internship at a firm
its possible, but generally you'd want to pursue some higher education i.e masters, phd and get more math or programming experience to boost you chances tho it doesn't hurt to start applying for quant analyst roles, experience is optimal
I have a Bsc Finance, Msc Finance a Data Science Academy certificate and Msc Economics in Quantaitve Finance.I am elgible to work in quant ? Is my background good ?
you need math this is probably the most applied mathematics and statistics job you can get the whole job is about calculating statistical probability and risk in free markets using math and risk models you will be using the highest level math classes and if you want to stand any chance, you have to start learning math from the beginning and don't give up. finance should not be your major for this role.
Thank you for your advice. Do you think it would be better for my career if I study Computer Science for my bachelor's degree and pursue a master's in Financial Engineering, Computational Finance, or Financial Mathematics? Alternatively, what about studying Economics for my bachelor's degree and self-studying programming and additional mathematics, followed by a master's in Financial Engineering or a related field?
@@eddiekiller21 Thank you for advising me Do you think if I study CS at bachelor degree and getting a master in financial engineering,comptentiual finance or financial mathematics it would be better for my career?

Engineering is a good foundation for quant roles, its not as mathematics heavy, but I'd say go for quant developer roles. Focus on building up your competitive programming skills along with leetcode, and you'll be good to apply for internships/new grad roles.
