ranking every quant trading career (tierlist)

Would be really great if you could make a roadmap video for each of the roles

[@ashdeepsingh3140]

How to kickstart into this quant dev roadmap and using data science into it?

[@gameacc6079]

1. be >140 iq 2. do well in competitions 3. study for interviews and apply

[@Andile-jz1vs]

@@gameacc6079 yes just be realistic , this is a very specialized field and highly complex

Guys, I am not a quant, or a youtuber, I am just a guy who use his mind. Search me up and will know me. For trading, you just need to know statistics, and a little bit of probability. And here is the hint, you need 3-4 standard deviations as your resolution.

[@fluffykitties9020]

resolution of what?

[@recursion.]

Cant wait for top tier sarcasm.🙌

[@giangregoriotofanelli7983]

Love the content, great video!!! Cheers to @Coding Jesus, keep it up

[@monkeychex3]

Dodged the tier list =D me, a data scientist coming into this field by making smart models lol. Update: i GUESS "alpha quant" fits

[@Dohdeek]

You should mention network engineer too!

thats the main one!

well that's a secretive field shrouded in secrecy , however its the backbone of these firms

[@chikken007]

What is really the difference between an alpha quant and the quant traders ?

[@anshulnegi1822]

do quant firms employ data engineers also??

[@fadedsedated]

do you think you could have Gary's Economics (the ex-CitiBank trader) on here for a casual discussion of your more abstract, nuanced opinions on trading and the industry? would be interesting to see your opinions & justifications, especially if conflicting

[@AlexxieSanchez]

S tier: 1. Alpha Quant 2. Quant trader

[@justinpardo-mw8wy]

hey coding jesus great content was just wondering you think i could be preparing for quant trade roles in college and then have quant dev as a backup option

[@jasonjets]

Genuinely curious as a new quant; you are “coding Jesus” not “finance Jesus”. Do you feel that what you do requires software expertise over finance expertise or vise versa?

[@dailyclipmafia5041]

He’s an swe

[@Andile-jz1vs]

one benefit in this industry is ,physics ,math and some software skills, physics is crucially important because this field operates at low latency

[@Tytrades]

What degree would you suggest CS? Finance?

[@jasonjets]

I’m curious coding jesus thinks but math/statistics most likely, then cs, then finance for quant. Financial engineering is also offered at some schools.

[@dailyclipmafia5041]

Not finance lol. Cs maybe if you take lots of math classes, but mostly pure maths/stats degree

[@zeynab5393]

How do i learn quant trading? I'm interested in it,any pointers ?

[@relebohilemasita4411]

Hi, I'm from south Africa. Day trading is very famous here, we do this individually and make use of technical analysis. So since this is all exposed to, I'm wondering Why don't you trade for yourself as a Quant trader, wouldn't it be more beneficial doing it while you work as a quant trader also

same from SA however this field is a new dimension from "retail trading " which rely on intuition

Can you land this kind of job without a university degree? If yes what companies hire people that dont have a defree but have the knowledge?

[@CodingJesus]

Without a degree entirely? 99.9% not. Without a relevant degree? Yes, but harder. Need to position oneself correctly (this is dependent on the person, no general advice here).

Glad to see alpha quant at S tier. I think R is equivalent to python in this space

it exists. prices are not random ;)

why do you need 5 tiers if only using 3
