Quant Analyst JOBS - Make $500k a year

Combining knowledge of finance with statistics and programming can be very lucrative. Quant analysts are highly paid jobs that are in high demand right now!

Bro I am also a mathematics student till 12th but I don't have an idea of what I do then I did bcom hons and after that I saw there is nothing for me I wanna be in finance role so I don't know what a path for me

​@Sundowner-jq9tu hey man as a student double majoring finance and computer science ( should i move to math im second year in both ) (should i persu masters or do you have any tips like idk what to do to get to quant and there no one in my country can help me like no one know abt this posiiton but for now (in my freetime im doing leetcode and learning some random studd as idk what i should do )

[@thomaskeane6076]

I am currently pursing a MBA/MS in Mathematical Finance right now, and then I am planning on becoming a Quant. The only downside is that the pool of applicants is high and the number of jobs available is low. In other words, the number of job opportunities available is limited and requires years of industry or research experience. However, if you manage to break into this extremely niche field, then you would be making between 150k - 250k per year (not including bonuses) as an entry-salary. After a few years, you will see salary numbers closer to 500k per year.

Quant here. Yes, we do earn that much, but this is a wildly competitive field to get in to, so most people won’t get the job. If they’re going to pay you like an experienced surgeon when you’re 23, you have to expect there to be a catch.

[@mrnoble3896]

I was wondering if masters would help me land this job masters in financial engineering

[@The.Harsh.Truths]

@@mrnoble3896 it will. My hedge fund recruits regularly out of the computational finance MS programs in Carnegie, Columbia, UChicago.

[@frederickkgagane]

Great video. Thank you for the info and knowledge. I am finishing my undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Statistics. What Masters Program would you recommend for me if I want to become a Quant Analyst?

[@Not_Unique]

Hi didi love your content BTW which app you use for editing

[@dineshsathya36]

Hi, I really love math and be around it. Shall I do quantitative finance course. Even I like stock market and managing a good portfolio

[@christophersoo]

I am doing Data Science for Bsc and planning to do MCF (Math and Comp finance) for masters. Do you think its good idea?

[@wondersenseiuniversity]

Yes... With the AI boom, data science roles will continue to grow and having strong foundation in math will be helpful in your job. All the best :)

[@ajm12321]

Hey, Thanks for putting this content out. I have a Bachelor’s in Finance and 3 years of experience in Wealth Management. I am now getting an MS in Analytics with a focus on Finance and Stats. What would you recommend the steps I can take to move in Quant or Algo? Thank you!

[@wondersenseiuniversity]

Get better at building models. I believe your Masters degree in Analytics will focus on R and Python. You could take a Quant Finance specific course on the side to gain more experience or try to get an internship in the field with would be more valuable. Best of luck!

[@montagegamingff]

Is btech student do this without persuade any higher degree

[@prabhutyson]

Any course you would recommend ?

[@wondersenseiuniversity]

There are number of them on Coursera. Since I have not take a quant course myself, it would be unfair for me to recommend one specific course. You could choose a highly rated one on Coursera by universities like Rice university or Harvard. It would be a good way to gain knowledge of the basics

[@Saturnius]

Manage to enroll in an ivy or T20, since a significant portion of people who get hired in finance fresh out of college do so because they had connections from those ivies or because of their degree and the company recruits from there.

hi, I'm currently doing ibm data science and planning to take machine learning in finance specialization by new york university on cousera and I'm also taking corporate finance course on corporate finance institute and financial analysis and modelling on udemy, could that give me the skills to become a quant analyst? and also do I need a degree or skills with the professional certificates I mentioned earlier with a couple of nice projects could get me internship then I could become an entry-level quant analyst?

Hey I'm very much interested in this field could you plz tell me how we can search and apply for job and intern in these companies??

[@bluefly1]

Only usa

[@prajwalfargade]

Data scientist or quantitative analyst which is better

[@wondersenseiuniversity]

Better is a very subjective term. Data science roles are more abundant than quant analyst jobs and also are less demanding in terms of skills which means they pay lesser than quant analyst roles. So, which one is better for you depends on what your skills and expertise are. In general, it's harder to get a quant job than a data science job.

If i'm smart enough to predict market direction. Why would i work for someone? I would do trade myself

[@ramenra8942]

No one can 100% predict the market every time

[@The.Harsh.Truths]

I’m a quant. It doesn’t work like that. You’re working within a walled garden and given access to deep data sets that cost millions to store and trade execution that requires a team of front office devs to maintain.
