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!

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.

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 🙏

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.

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.

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?

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)

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

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

Can you make a video on navinder sarao? i did research online but couldn’t understand how flash crash trade took place? this is an interesting topic, one thing i don’t understand is why was this guy jailed? i mean big companies like jane street, commit such things regularly ig, but they are never jailed but this lone guy from bedroom was jailed? it sounds like these big firms don’t like people making money more than them

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

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?

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?
