- How to get from a CS degree to a quantitative finance job?
In this video I discuss the three main areas of quant finance and the general skills you would need for each role coming from a CS undergrad.

This video is really for me as a grad cs major with math bachelor exploring quant path.
The conference was fantastic! Thank you, Dimitri and all the Agora folks, and all the presenters. Absolutely solid information from all!
Is it online?
I don't know if this is a university specific thing, but from the university I got my Masters in Computer Science, we did have specific courses on most of the topics you mention from a very mathematical point of view (so no rainbows and sunshine in explaining the topics, just straight formulas and theoretical concepts). CS majors might be more suited for the quant research job than we think? Get your degree from a good university and don't avoid mathematical courses since they will provide you with invaluable abstract reasoning skills (biggest mistake made by most CS students imo). Often you have the ability to fill your bachelors and/or masters with courses from the Mathematics department, take them! Don't limit your courses to ML, software & systems engineering.
That’s me !
Currently doing a Master in CS and wanting to transition to quant finance.
As someone who works as a "quant" you will need a PhD in CS to get any decent chance of a job in todays climate. Most of the teams I know are 95% PhD Physics, Maths, CS. The rest are MFEs from top Unis.

@@itooflemma so HFT is the one where you can go in w a top math bs?
That f(Q) on channel logo means "function of quant".If I am right, that logo tells us lot about what you are, besides I find your video very informational and to the point. Thanks 🙏

@@Apuryo I am unable to understand what you mean, please elaborate

Hi Dimitri, thank you for all the information you provide on your channel. I am almost done with my masters in physics with a minor in financial mathematics and want to work in quantitative risk management. At my university's career fair (in Germany) I talked to a lot of companies and there seem to be two main types for my desired role, banks and consulting firms. If you've already talked about it, I couldn't find it, but I'd really like to hear what you think about the quantitative risk-oriented segments of consulting firms.
Very good video. This makes me wonder about career transitioning for quants. How hard (or easy) would it be for someone to transition from Data Science, Software Development, Business Intelligence, etc. to Quant Finance, assuming they have a quantitative Master's degree?
Are you able to make a video on how to prepare for quant roles? I’m a cs undergrad and plan on doing mqf next year. I would love to hear any insights!
I’m kinda the opposite where I did bachelor in math with qf and Econ focus and now ms in cs
I applied for computational finance in UCL after completing CS in King’s College London, with a first class, got rejected though, devastated..
@spyder1664 hopefully you applied to some other programs. My dream was to go to Columbia however I ended up at Michigan and even changed masters to applied economics. If you are determined, you'll often find another path to quant finance.
Nice Video. Can you please point me to any of your favorite resources that talk about missing value and how to handle that in finance.
Hi, I am doing Data Science and AI
So How should i integrate My DSAI to Quant Finance
Hey Mr. Bianco I'm on the path of getting a computer science engineer degree but I wanted to learn more about finance. I watched your 2019 video reading list but I wanted to ask you are there anymore books you would recommend to read to learn about finance? thank you and a informative video:)
I am 24 years old, I have a master's degree in accounting and finance but I want to break into the field of quantitative finance, I do not live in the USA but I want to come to the USA to work in this field, how can I achieve my dream?
I want to see data science to quant. I come from an engineering background and im doing a data science masters but I did not know how much more in depth and rigorous computational finance is. I wish I had went that route instead of a data science masters
Hi Dmitri,
I'm doing a mathematics and economics degree starting August, what courses should I take and how can I get this towards doing a quant masters.
Is this a possible way to quant masters, if so how good it bad? Could you please do a video or short on it!! Would appreciate it a lot
If you had $10 million. Would you 1. Just stick it all in index funds and live of portfolio at 4%. 2. Continue quant finance and just trade the money with your models 3. Set up new business..what?
Ok but what about Economist to Quants,? Are there possible paths?

I'm going to be graduating as a CS major and Stats minor in a year. There isn't much of a bridge at all into financial engineering topics at my school but I'll be doing Time-series amongst other statistical topics... any additional advice would be great (Don't think I'll do a master's given my age atm - Western Canada)
Could you do house tour bro, you’re house looks great.
Isn't quant dev being automated as LLMs advance?
Seriously asking this question shows your stupidity
No, not even close. People are too complicated to generalize. Also there are quants building complex models for NLP however we still have to constantly rebuild.
Haha you think a word imitation model (which by the way was trained by workers in Kenya at $2/hr) can do such cognitive tasks?
Hey ,first
🤩🤩🤩🤩
this sounds pretty much in line with what a data scientist could do?
No not really this is a whole different skillset unless you worked real close to quants at least for model development and validation.
Your audio input is little bit fast than video
Please turn to Jesus and repent if you haven't. Jesus's love is like no other and he will transform your life. God bless you ✨️✝️✨️
Sir, this is a quant finance TH-cam channel
Oh yeah? Are you actually living like the Prince of Peace, or did you eat a corpse today?
