I have zero knowledge of stocks, Wall Street, or finances. But for some reason, this is supremely interesting. It's like a vice-esque look into a unique, modern pocket of life that is not exactly mainstream.
I can see this channel blowing up soon! Keep up the good work :) I would also love to see a video on you explaining the pathway for someone to become a quant. I think there’s a lot of people who would love to get into this field but just aren’t sure where to start due to the very secretive nature of the industry.
I love your content!! Lots of people are interested in quantitative analysis but don’t know where to start, and you’re helping every one of us. Have you considered becoming a paid coach/tutor for people who want to get into the field? That’s something I’m looking for. Cheers.
Could you make a vid about your own background and how you got the job? Also do you have any friends working in software for these quant firms that can also share how they broke into the industry?
Really great video! I love the calm style how you explain it and also really interesting insights! I'm currently learning statistics and also Java and Python. I was wondering, which language do you usually code in?
@DIAMOND_HANDS what the hell are you saying to become a quant you dont need to know how to make money in the markets , it does help, but comparing becoming a quant to getting in the nba is such a dumb analogy. quants recruits want competent graduates highly dedicated in the field of mathematics and yes knowing to code does help. Its a career path like another other and geeting a job will be as tough as getting a job in other fields. keep diamond handing ur doge, dont bring ur uneducated perspective of the finance industry in here where people really want to get a REAL education and make a career from it,
Just found out your channel and your videos are extremely informative and well-explained. I wonder why you haven't upload anything in so many months. Hope you're okay, man!
The Quant industry is over-saturated, Am I wrong? Profit from trading can only have so many winners and losers each year. Also physicians in the US have a bit more stable income. Nowadays, 300-600k a year.
This is awesome content. I would love to hear you talk about the relation between market makers and quants. Ive been messing around with some algo backtesting as a hobby as well. Would also like to hear about algo performance on a short vs long term scale? One algo I made recently would of had a +81% return for the past month trading USDCAD on a back test but when I ran it for the year backtest, -65% return. Finally would like to hear about the machine learning aspect as well. Thanks for the content. Liked and subscribed on this video alone.
Just found this video and this was super informative. I am currently an engineering major and I aspire to become a quant one day. Please make a video on what is the most popular and/or most useful career path to becoming a quant.
Quants interviews are notoriously hard (all iq tests and puzzles instead of anything finance related). They usually recruited from the best of the top universities in the us. The current pipeline is the quant companies will sponsor college math competitions and interview the top performers. I know people in my school that lives and breathes for the Putnam competition. Your best bet is to join math club in your school
awesome channel! glad someone finally made a channel for quants in buyside. I'm an aspiring quant, getting my masters in computational finance, do you have any tips for recruiting & interviewing? Do you find job security and stress a major concern? Especially as you stay longer in the industry?
For someone who is not from a well-known college, how does one break into this world of quant-trading as a fresher? What kind of accomplishments and projects do the deal? Assume a Computer Science background while answering these questions.
That’s the thing you don’t, which doesn’t make sense, most people don’t develop consciousness until after high school. But I’m all honesty getting accolades might be the only was or wasting life on amPhD, accolade = chess gm or math Olympiad
Quick question -- are the salaries you listed for quant traders or quant researchers? Generally what is the difference in pay between quant traders and quant researchers (and developers)? Thanks :) Loved the video
Two questions brother, 1. What major and minor should I be taking in college to get into the field as a developer? 2. How hard is it to launch your own quant firm?
Hey! Awesome video!! Keep making them, please. I am finishing my undergrad in Physics (with some study in Econophysics) and would like to know if you have any advice of what should I do to become a quant researcher. Like what should I study to be able to do this job. And again, thanks, bro, awesome content.
Wow I am so lucky to have found your channel. I am a sophomore at Florida State University Majoring in Finance but I want to be able to also have doors open in the computer science and quant firms as they interest me more. What majors would best prepare me for quant? I am thinking right now of including an applied mathematics major so it would be a dual major in applied math and finance. What are your thoughts?
I’d recommend going for an applied math or stats major plus a CS minor. You can also minor in finance or econ but the CS minor would help more in my personal opinion.
Hi, thanks for the info, any thoughts or tips for career progression advice starting from undergrad? Best types of majors to obtain, how much education to receive, what sorts of internships to look out for while obtaining your degrees(in between undergrad to graduate degrees, during graduate school, during undergrad, etc.)? Also maybe some advice on the different conventional and unconventional routes to becoming a quant, as well as the difficulty of each route would be helpful. thanks
Q: MFE programs advertise that their starting salaries range from $100-$130K base+bonus. Are starting salaries still in the $300K range, or have they come down post-pandemic?
Do I need a PhD, or is a Masters enough? I’m currently in my final year of my BSc doing Stats and Finance. Next year I’m doing a masters in Data Science, so I want to know if I actually need a PhD on top of that. Coding wise, I’m mostly proficient in R but I’m looking to pick up python soon.
Second this, Do I need to have any relevant internship experience to be a quant? Does prestige of the school you go to matters for the masters degree university I apply for?
@@curiousintrovert1016 yes prestige matters, yes internships matter because why would they hire you, with no internships when there are hundreds of others with the same or better grads from better schools with internships.
u should post a video gon throu online courses(MOOCs) that would help us learn the basics of quant trading maybe some programing courses and what ever its necesary
@@Sk8forsocks ..... The thing is you will need extra mathematical courses besides the maths classes you take while doing your Eco major. Python is extremely essential as well.
What’s the most important math and computing skills for being a quant? Can you break it down into what’s needed for getting in and what’s needed for day to day work?
Varies firm to firm, planning on a more in depth video in the future. For more generalist or entry-level roles, the fundamentals of statistics and probability are most of what you need. More senior or specialized positions often require more.
I'm about to turn 17. I have 0 coding experience but I'd like to think I work harder than the average person soooo. What advice could you give on becoming a quant. (schools, internships, books, ?)
I have a great mathematics ans statistic background, im graduating physics this yaer, but i'm not good at programming. I relly like what you said about the work a quant does. How hard is the coding part of your job? Again, i wont have troubles with the math. And what are some advices you could give for some one who doesnt code that well?
Really Amazing content! I'm majoring in computer science and thinking of double majoring in computational math. Do you think it'd help me in landing a job as a quant? Also if you could suggest some topics/books that will help me understand quant, that'd be great.
Would you mind sharing some of the tech stacks (programming languages/ frameworks) that is typically required by the different kinds "quant" that you have mentioned in the video. :)
Python is extremely popular across firms due to its strong numpy-centric data libraries. C++ is common in job interviews and listings. Jane Street is famous for its prioritization of OCaml.
Hi! Thanks so much for uploading the great content that you do! I find it very helpful! I’m currently an undergrad studying at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in Economics. I am considering either double majoring in Finance and Econ, or just majoring in Econ and either minoring in Risk Management, Finance, or getting a certificate in Applied Statistical Modeling. I am not particularly interested in studying CS, but I am interested in pursuing quant roles in finance. Do you think that my current plans would be good enough for me to try and pursue quant roles after undergrad (and if so, which minor do you think is the best, or should I double major with Finance), or is there something else I should do instead in your opinion? Also, do you think that UT Austin is a good school for someone who wants to be a quant, or should I look to transfer to a “better” school? (I saw your previous comments mention that MIT and UChicago are good schools for quants.) Thanks, and have a great day!
In general, if you can land a quant internship, your school doesn't really matter too much. You just need it to open doors to interviews. Honestly, finance and econ programs can be a hit or miss because some tend to be quantitative than others. I don't think the double major would help you in this case for quant roles specifically (maybe it would for fundamental roles, that's outside of my domain). Quant firms see to like candidates who pursue very technical, math-heavy majors like math, stats or operations research. These majors tend to be more difficult so many recruiters appreciate that as well -- just checkout any job listings you're interested in to see what types of majors they prefer.
I see. Thank you so much for the response! From what I have been looking at, it seems like math, CS, and physics are the most popular majors among quant positions. I don’t think I’ll be very prepared for quant roles with my Econ background haha, but I still enjoy watching your videos nonetheless.
Thank you for the awesome content!!! I'm an eecs major having only done software engineering internships so far, but I became interested in quant (developer) & this is really helpful :) I was wondering which courses you'd recommend I take as an undergrad to become a quant.

Hey I’m duel majoring in finance and mathematics(w/honors), along with a minor in economics. But my programming skills are lacking, how could I improve this skill set to transfer into the job market. And, what programming languages do you recommend I focus on?
hey, just found you, love the content. just curious to know, what degrees do you hold and what’s the common career path to becoming a quant trader? thanks heaps, keep up the good work
I have CS bachelors degree. Traditionally it’s been undergrad -> quantitative PhD -> quant roles. Lately, lots of people get hired out of masters or undergrad. There’s also some inflow from folks already working in the data science space.
Now I see the importance of having won a math Olympiad. I never did. Now look at me! I’m a fucking loser and I’m starving. If I ever get out of college with a degree, I’ll be earning no more than 100k a year. My effort and sacrifices I’ve made throughout my degree aren’t worth less than 100k a year, they’re worth way more. I don’t think my degree is worth pursuing anymore. I’m tired and I don’t see any GOOD results. Definitely, I’ve wasted too much time on something that’s simply won’t pay off. Let’s forget about the debts I’ve gone into for studying this shit.
@@imt3206 I thought it was history or sociology or something with the way you were talking about it lol. Industrial engineers make about 92k on average in the US, and in states like Texas,Wyoming, Massachusetts etc. They make around 105-108k . Pretty solid degree dude.
