  • 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.

    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.

      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.

    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?

      @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.

    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

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)

      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.
